Brief Abstract:
Our GE curriculum should focus on creating assignments that focus on critical thinking through teaching rhetorical awareness, which will improve students’ reading and writing skills both inside and outside the school setting. This presentation will cover the importance and transportability of teaching rhetorical awareness and the types of reading and writing analyses that many first-year writing programs are increasingly including in their curriculums and ways to integrate the teaching of rhetorical awareness
into the classroom and into assignment prompts.
