EXPOSITORY READING AND WRITING COURSE – ERWC (formerly English 4) (12) Year Course/10 Credits
Prerequisites: Seniors who have completed junior year
This English course focuses on expository reading and writing and critical thinking through the study of current, relevant,
and thought-provoking issues. Aligned with California English Language Arts Standards, this course addresses the skills
needed to excel in college-level English courses: critical reading, expository reading, analytical and argumentative writing.
This course is open to all students but may be particularly useful for those seniors who did not achieve “college readiness”
status in the English Early Assessment Program (EAP) portion of their CAASP. Students must pass this course with a
grade of “C” or better in each semester to be exempt from participating in the CSU Early Start Program.
Type of course: Meets graduation and CSU/UC category “B” entrance requirements.
