Why are these courses linked?

English 51 with English 56 is a perfect combination of classes.  They are linked so that students may experience the important connection between reading and writing.  Students will be given reading assignments in English 56 and will be asked to write about this same reading in English 51. 

This personal learning experience will give students better reading and writing skills.
