Eng­lish 1121 con­tin­ues the work we began in Eng­lish 1101. We will work on de­vel­op­ing crit­i­cal read­ing and writ­ing skills as we write about works of lit­er­a­ture. We will dis­cuss three lit­er­ary gen­res: non-fic­tion es­says, po­etry, and the novel. As­sign­ments will re­quire stu­dents to write in dif­fer­ent styles such as sum­mary, ci­ta­tion, ex­po­si­tion, com­par­i­son, analy­sis, and re­search. In ad­di­tion, we will uti­lize the City Tech dig­i­tal plat­form called Open­Lab (in ad­di­tion to Black­board), which will help us to en­gage with each other’s writ­ing and world out­side of the class­room.

English 1121 continues the work we began in English 1101. We will work on developing critical reading and writing skills as we write about works of literature. We will discuss three literary genres: non-fiction essays, poetry, and the novel. Assignments will require students to write in different styles such as summary, citation, exposition, comparison, analysis, and research. In addition, we will utilize the City Tech digital platform called OpenLab (in addition to Blackboard), which will help us to engage with each other’s writing and world outside of the classroom.
