ERWC Modules

Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum (ERWC)

The goal of ERWC is to prepare students for the literacy demands of higher education. Through a sequence of rigorous, instructional modules, students will develop an advanced proficiency in expository, analytical, and argumentative reading and writing.

Students will engage in various types of activities throughout the course of our thematic modules. Reading assignments include: annotation, analysis, reflection, survey, research and verbal or written responses. Students will also participate in Socratic Seminars, debates and small group discussions. Additionally, students will develop their writing skills through "Quick Writes", responses to critical thinking questions and timed writing assignments.
