Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum (ERWC)

The ERWC (Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum) is a college preparatory, rhetoric-based English language arts course for grades 11 and 12 designed to develop academic literacy (advanced proficiency in rhetorical and analytical reading, writing, and thinking). Created by the CSU, this new and innovative curriculum has changed how educators prepare high school students for college-level English courses. Encouraging critical thinking skills, students develop strategies and skills to get themselves college ready.
