English 474A is a 5-credit service-learning course open to any UW student interested in learning more about public education, with a focus on working with ELL/multilingual, immigrant and refugee populations. This course is part of the Phoenix Project, a partnership between UW's Dept. of English and College of Education, Seattle and Shoreline public schools and literacy organizations; the Phoenix Project is designed both to support P-12 students and to provide experiential learning opportunities for UW students interested in teaching careers.

All students in English 474 will put what they learn on campus into practice through service-learning in summer literacy (elementary and mi! ddle school) and mentoring (high school) programs offered through Seattle Housing Authority. Some class time will be allocated for the service-learning. Volunteer opportunities include late afternoon/evening hours (4:00-7:00 pm) M-Th. Students will volunteer a minimum of 3 hours per week.
