Our presentation demonstrates how the integration of critical literacy into IRW can have profound results on students’ understanding of the argumentative genre, and on their knowledge of academic Discourses. Participants will receive and discuss our study’s results on students’ perceptions of integrating critical literacy into the IRW course. We will provide a brief, standard Power Point presentation to showcase our review of literature, methodology, and findings. Additionally, we will provide participants with artifacts from the IRW class where we collected data. We will also present the argumentative unit where critical literacy was implemented via an active PBworks page to promote collaboration amongst the attendees. In groups, attendees will modify a unit to fit their unique programs, through resources we provide. Implications and conclusions will be generated at the end.
