CRLT 101 Course Objectives:
1. Students will develop a metacognitive awareness of their literacy, gaining intellectual courage and a capacity for sustained, focused attention to reading.
Students will demonstrate these skills through discussion, oral and written reflection that would show self awareness that might lead students to employ
techniques, such as annotation.
2. (New!) Students will begin to understand the concepts of audience, purpose, and rhetorical situation (writers biography, historical and social context, and
argument form) and how they affect writers decisions about content, form, and diction as they examine the writing of others (professional, student) and in their
own writing. Students will demonstrate this skill by being able to express in writing and discussion how a writers background, historical and social context,
purpose and audience impact the form and content.
3. (New!) Students will demonstrate in their writing that they are making decisions about their own content, form, and diction appropriate to a variety of writing
situations.
4. Students will understand that reading and writing are processes and will begin to develop effective strategies for analyzing, composing, and organizing
thoughts. Students will write about their reading and writing processes, in reflections or cover letters. In addition, students will revise drafts by sharing through
peer review, visiting the writing center, and attending critical literacy lab workshops.
5. Students will read and analyze a variety of texts and write responses that reflect, explain, or analyze those texts.
6. Students will demonstrate the ability to focus, organize, support and elaborate their ideas in a variety of writing situations (in-class essay, out-of-class drafted
essays).
7. Students will gather their work into a portfolio reflecting on their writing and reading progress. Student portfolios will exhibit a variety of drafted writings and
in-class writings with a minimum of 3000 words.
8. Students portfolios will exhibit growing confidence in style/voice and control over readability of their work.




Looking back from the very first day to now you can see the big transformation in my daybook.
The beginning of the year I would come in and write down two maybe three sentences and my
daily writing would be complete. We learn early this year that good writers spend time writing to
become a good writer. So by me coming in everyday and writing and keeping practicing it help
improve my writing muscles. Now I am able write a lengthy passage without stopping or having
any distractions. As class continue threw out the year I notice that the daybook isnt just use for
daily written but can also be used for taking notes and any ideas that come to mind.

My polish piece have also came a long way from the beginning of the year till now. The
beginning of the year I never cited my work correctly as suppose. Citing not just the web address
of the work you are using but also need the author title and the date where also a hyperlink
should use to direct you to the website you got your work from. I think now my polish piece is
stronger and have made a major improvement. I am citing my work correctly and now I know
what my purpose of my work is and how I should acknowledge them to the audience. And for as
paragraph structure I know now my title and body should be similar.

I feel like on my self-assessment I fairly graded myself. I grade myself as strong which is
one grade higher from my most recent assessment. The reason I grade myself as is because I felt
like I have made a little more improvement than my last assessment. Where this one is a much
stronger piece. Once understanding your mistakes and knowing how to correct them gives you a
brighter picture. Able to work on your weakness and build stronger muscles was much needed. I
like that I took critical literacy to help tighten few minor problems. This year was great learning
experiencing were I learn many helpful skills to better my writing and self-thinking.
