ENGLISH 1 S/T
10 units over 2 quarters (Fall-Winter, 2017-18) English 1 S&T is an integrated reading and writing course that focuses on techniques of critical reading, critical thinking, and written communication. Over two quarters, we'll read challenging, college-level texts (visual and written) and write complex essays. Classes are designed in a workshop model, with many opportunities for guided practice using a range of reading and writing strategies. Successful completion of 1S/T satisfies Foothill General Education requirements for Area II English; IGETC; and UC/CSU transferability (5 units) |
“What I thoroughly enjoyed about this class was the sense of community. Building friendships in and outside the classroom that will carry on above and beyond English class. Spending twenty four weeks with one another wasn't so much a chore but a journey and a joy, If I could do it again, I would.” - English 1S/T student |
ENGLISH 242 A/B
4 units over 2 quarters (Fall-Winter, 2017-18) This pathway includes a course in portfolio design and management. Many students and professionals create portfolios of their best work to show to schools, employers, and even friends and family. The English 242 A/B course will help you select work from your English 1 S/T course to demonstrate your reading, writing, photography, and critical thinking abilities. You'll have opportunities to reflect on the reading and writing processes, helping you increase confidence and see clearly your pathway toward success. |
"At the end of this 1S and 1T pathway, I don't see writing so much as a chore but more of another way I can impact people's lives and communicate.” - English 1S/T student |
