Expository Reading and Writing Course (ERWC)
The CSU Expository Reading and Writing Task Force, comprised of members from the CSU as well as K-12 English faculty and curriculum specialists, has developed a series of assignments based on non-fiction texts to use in a expository reading and writing course that districts will be able to pilot and adopt. The course is designed to prepare students for college-level English and it is aligned with English-Language Arts Content Standards (Common Core Standard).
