WELCOME TO ERWC

Expository Reading and Writing Course

IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING:

What is ERWC?

This course was developed by the California State

University system in an attempt to better prepare

incoming students for the required university

English course.

YOUR FIRST HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:

Go to the following website and access your EAP

scores.

www.csuenglishsuccess.org

In the top right corner, under 12th graders, “find

out your EAP status”.

Write down your scores (English and Math) and

turn them into me at the beginning of class

tomorrow for 25 points.

DON’T FEEL BAD IF YOU LEARN YOU DIDN’T PASS.

In fall of 2010, the most recent year with data, only

32% of Oxnard High Students who took the test

were proficient.

Statewide 50% of students score proficient.

Countywide 63% of students score proficient.

We need to step it up and we will do exactly that,

in this class, this year.
