Introduction to College Composition was developed by Lumen Learning in collaboration with\u00a0Cerritos College<\/a>\u00a0(Norwalk, CA). It is designed\u00a0as a resource for the\u00a0precollege English composition classroom. It aligns with\u00a0ENG 020<\/a>\u00a0and is the first of a three-course \u201cPath to College Composition\u201d series. All courses in this series focus on the same primary content areas:<\/p>\n In Introduction to College Composition, most of the learning outcomes in each of these four areas are written to the\u00a0analyze<\/strong>\u00a0level\u00a0of Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy\u00a0(e.g., \u201cAnalyze\u00a0topic selection activities,\u201d \u201cAnalyze summary skills for reading comprehension\u201d).<\/p>\n An optional fifth content area is also included:<\/p>\n The college-success\u2013skills content is focused specifically on success in a writing classroom. It contains outcomes across several levels of Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy.<\/p>\n As you read through the following pages, you\u2019ll notice common elements. \u00a0Each module includes an introduction and conclusion that provide explanatory context for students. The pages in between contain the following:<\/p>\n Each module also includes written assignments and\/or discussion assignments.<\/p>\n As an OER-based course, this content is all adaptable to suit\u00a0your<\/strong>\u00a0needs in\u00a0your<\/strong>\u00a0course. Don\u2019t need Success Skills content in your semester? Lose that module. Prefer to teach reading and writing as an integrated strategy? Combine those two modules in the way that best fits your students\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n This is intended to be a broad offering of resources, and so it will probably contain more than you actually need. Feel free to trim down to exactly what you want. Revise the language to convey exactly what you want to convey.<\/p>\n The publicly accessible content in the book contains a series of customizable, scaffolded assignments that build up to four final projects. Verified instructors can also access the more than 400 quiz questions aligned to course content.<\/p>\n You can use as many or as few of these resources as you\u2019d like. Again, since it\u2019s all\u00a0OER, they\u00a0can be adapted to fit projects and primary reading materials you already enjoy teaching and find effective in your classroom. Use them as exact guides, loose templates, or airy inspiration.<\/p>\n Traditionally, composition classes require (at least) three types of resources for students:<\/p>\n This text addresses the first two components. You\u2019re welcome to use it with whatever primary reading material you\u2019d like. If you\u2019d like a reader that\u2019s also fully Open, here are two options that pair nicely with this text:<\/p>\n If you need some content aligned to higher (or lower) Bloom\u2019s levels, consider mixing and matching content from the other Path to College Composition courses:<\/p>\n Content from other Lumen composition\/reading texts can also be incorporated into your customized course, as desired:<\/p>\n\n
