ENGL-11100 College Writing 1

College Writing 1 is an introduction to the ways texts work, in terms of both rhetorical features of texts and writers' writing processes. This course provides instruction and practice in critically reading and strategically composing a variety of texts for authentic purposes and audiences, and analyzing how the rhetorical situation guides writers' rhetorical choices, including voice, structure, and the use of appeals and other persuasive strategies. Students will also learn about and practice writing effectively and persuasively, especially for an academic context; enact the full range of writing processes - invention/discovery strategies, organizing, drafting, revising, peer review, editing, and publishing; and practice the established community conventions of genre, source documentation, and language use. Major projects include the use of multiple sources and multimodal composing features. College Writing 1 is a prerequisite for all 20000-level courses in English.
