For Phase 1, you will analyze various texts and practice skills like rhetorical reading, narrative writing, and critical self-reflection. Among other smaller assignments, you will compose two Language & Literacy Narratives, one written and one spoken.

Note: you should have access to all readings & all assignments every class (in print or on your laptop/phone). This is because we’ll likely refer back to previous assignments/readings.

Note: “BB” stands for “Blackboard.”

Note: Work highlighted in blue CANNOT be submitted late or made up.
