Question 1 The study presented here takes an unusually comprehensive look at one critical point
Correct of entry into academic performance. It shows a group of freshmen in the transition
into the academic discourse of college, looking at the ways in which they interpret
Mark 3.00 out of
and negotiate an assignment that calls for reading-to-write. On such tasks, students
3.00
are reading to create a text of their own, trying to integrate information from sources
with ideas of their own, and attempting to do so under the guidance of a purpose they
must themselves create. Because these reading-to-write tasks ask students to
integrate reading, writing, and rhetorical purpose, they open a door to critical literacy.
Yet this same interaction often makes reading-to-write a difficult process for students
to learn and to manage.

freshmen in the transition into the academic discourse of college, looking at the
ways in which they interpret and negotiate an assignment that calls for reading-
to-write. On such tasks, students are reading to create a text of their own, trying to
integrate information from sources with ideas of their own, and attempting to do
so under the guidance of a purpose they must themselves create. Because these
reading-to-write tasks ask students to integrate reading, writing, and rhetorical
purpose, they open a door to critical literacy. Yet this same interaction often

4. In English, an essay is a piece of argumentative writing several paragraphs

long written about one topic, usually based on the student's reading. The purpose

the subject, for them to present ideas they have learned in their own way. The
emphasis should be on working with other people's ideas, rather than reproducing
their words, but the student's  own voice should show clearly. Students should be,
 as Flower (1990, p. v) points out: "reading to create a text of their own, trying to
integrate information from sources with ideas of their own, and attempting to do
so under the guidance of a purpose they must themselves create. " 4 is
