The goal of the this part of your ESL course is to improve your fluency in English and to prepare you for the demands of college-level academic work. This reading component of ESL 099.0922 provides extensive practice in reading and responding to a college level text.

This semester, our class will read the non-fiction book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.

Each week, in preparation for each meeting, you will be expected to:

  • Read approximately 35 pages
  • Add three words, concepts, or phrases to our Class Vocabulary list along with an explanation of what they mean.
  • Post on your blog, a summary, an impression, and a question to the section you have read.
During our class time together, you will discuss the section you have read in small and large groups and contribute writing on our class wiki.
