In ENG1121, we will explore four writing tasks – summary, critical reading/critique, synthesis, and research. Our semester will be divided into six units of focused study: • unit 1: annotation, MLA citation, best practices • unit 2: academic essays • unit 3: literary fiction • unit 4: periodical publications • unit 5: research project • unit 6: final portfolio Units 2 through 4 will require preparation of short response papers that reflect an understanding of one or more of our writing tasks. Unit 5 will culminate in a research paper that links something from the past with something from the present, and unit 6 will result in the creation of a final portfolio containing revisions and evidence of self-reflection.

An introduction to all phases of the writing process, including pre-writing, composition, editing, and revision. Our papers will be written in three rhetorical modes (process, narrative, and argument) and will ask you to focus on three primary factors (audience, purpose, and strategy). An emphasis will be placed on revision and growth.
