This class will
focus on the reading/writing connection while exploring traditional and
non-traditional kinds of texts, as well as different forms of English. We will
write a variety of short expository essays—including definition, cause and
effect, comparison/contrast, proposal, and process—both in response to readings
and on topics of the student’s choice. This course will also emphasize
the process of writing, as well as skills in critical thinking
and evaluating the credibility of different sources.
