English Writing Program 111 - Writing, Identity, and Power

This college-level reading- and writing-intensive course invites students to explore writing as a social act that is influenced by larger systems of power. Assignments ask students to integrate theories of language and literacy with personal experience to reflect upon their own experiences as writers. All classes are held workshop-style in computer classrooms to allow for writing, collaboration, and consultation among students and between students and teacher. The course prepares students for ENGLWRIT 112 by introducing practices used in process-based writing courses. (Gen. Ed. I & DU)
