History of literature and language: Recognize and identify the forms, techniques, social conditions, values, and genres, as well as cultural, aesthetic, philosophical, and ideological factors that are relevant to a particular topic or theme in Chicanx and Latinx literatures.
Awareness of history's impact on the present: Appraise and contrast literary approaches to depicting a variety of social, cultural, and historical events and experiences.
Critical thinking / Ability to recognize and question assumptions: Assess textual evidence leading to interpretation and discern multiple (and even contradictory) interpretations while querying textual meaning and significance.
Creativity: Generate original ideas and texts, experimenting and taking risks, solving problems, and answering questions in a range of genres and media.
Critical writing and communication: Write and present original, coherent, and compelling arguments that push beyond summary to analysis; are grounded in textual evidence; and offer independent and original thinking clear prose that meets expectations for grammatical correctness.
Citizenship / A consciousness of self and other: Develop empathy by learning about the experiences of others and develop self-awareness of one's own positionality and views, and employ this consciousness in participating with others in the classroom while also creating productive patterns of study and work for yourself based on this growing self-awareness.
