Do you like to write, and express yourself in a variety of formats?

Students will engage with the craft of writing by exploring various forms of fiction, including short-story, poetry, drama and essay. Through reading, self and peer edits, work shopping, as well as assessment and analysis, students will gain a greater appreciation for writing. Critical-thinking will be an integral aspect of this course, as will identifying bias through self-awareness. Students will also reflect on identity, both as individuals and as members of their community and society. This course, like the other English offerings, will have a composition component that will focus on formal paragraph and essay writing, research projects, as well as personal projects and responses which will allow students to effectively communicate, impart and exchange information, and share experiences and ideas.
