Reading Skills and Composition Workshop

Description

Reading Skills and Composition [Workshop] expedites students' learning of basic reading and writing skills needed to pass the CUNY Reading Test: comprehension of college-level texts, vocabulary enrichment, summarizing, criticalthinking, logical flow of ideas, and control of grammar and mechanics. Simultaneously, this course further develops students' composing and revision skills so that they will be able to produce the increasingly complex and better structured essays expected of students who successfully complete ENG 110. Toward that end, students will learn how to use class discussions and interdisciplinary readings as the bases for both expository and researched essays.Reading and responding to interdisciplinary texts representing various rhetorical modes, students will gain further practice in paraphrasing and summarizing, enrich their vocabulary and improve their writing, revision, and proofreading skills. Additionally, students will be introduced to the use of print and on-line secondary sources. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to respond critically to a variety of texts, integrating their own ideas with those presented in the readings.
