Description:

This course is designed to address the demands, pedagogy, and possibilities of reading and writing in the content areas, P-12.

While writingas communication will merit attention, writing for other reasons (especially learning) will also be featured. Similarly, reading in subjects other than Language Arts/English will be studied, especially why and how language varies from one discipline to another and from one grade level to another. There will also be attention to literacies other than print literacy that are becoming increasingly important and powerful in the new millennium (e.g., computer literacy; film literacy). Fifteen hours of field experience are required. Prerequisite: ACT 21; SAT 990 or passing PPST. Pre- or Corequisite: EDUC 237. Credit, 3 hours. Offered each semester.
