Additionally, his discussion focus on the cognitive dimensions of culture and the relationship of academic achievement and literacy. This first part provides as theoretical frame of reference to describe the ethnographic South San Diego Writing Project where High School Chicano students isolated in the cornmunity and minimally exposed to English speaking peers improve the quantity and quality of English compositions while also increasing participation and cooperation writing activities.
