Reflecting on Your Own Learning: The Stretch Course Learning Outcomes (CLO)
When you have completed this coursework, you will have made considerable progress in developing yourself as a reader and writer. At the end of the fall and the spring term, you will assemble this work in a portfolio, and reflect on the work to gauge and define your progress. Presenting this portfolio to me and to one other member of the Stretch Faculty Learning Community, you will demonstrate to us your own ability to:
Read to learn: • annotate a reading selection to develop a summary and response in
your writing (GELO 1); • identify audience & purpose in several genres (GELO 1, 3, 4); • explain how genres work to serve audience and context (GELO 1, 3).
Read to write: • identify rhetorical appeals and devise strategies for an effective
appeal to a specific audience (GELO 1, 3); • develop a text to appeal to a specific audience (GELO 1, 3); • identify choices a writer has made to produce a text (GELO 1, 3, 4); • use readings as models for your own writing strategies (GELO 1, 4); • concisely, accurately explain and critique information and ideas from
your reading (GELO 1, 3, 4); • use information gleaned from your reading as evidence in your text
and cite that information (GELO 1, 4); • use quotation & summary to create context for readers(GELO 1, 4, 5).
Write with an increased awareness of the process: • discuss specific strategies for prewriting and revision that have
worked for you (GELO 2); • repurpose acquired skills and information to tackle new writing
problems (GELO 2). Read and write with an increased awareness of the language you use: • identify new grammatical forms and imitate them (GELO 1, 2, 3, 4,
5); • analyze and discuss the structure of sentences and the grammatical
choices you make (GELO 2, 3, 5); • identify editing problems in your own writing (GELO 2, 5); • identify and apply effective strategies for editing your work (GELO 2,
5); • identify and apply effective proofreading strategies (GELO 2, 5);
Reflect on and assess your own writing, process and product, to support continued language and writing development (GELO 2, 3, 4).
