Adap­tive Reuse Stu­dio

Adaptive Reuse Studio

Every City Tech (and CUNY) stu­dent takes Eng­lish 1101 Com­po­si­tion I, which fea­tures read­ing and writ­ing as­sign­ments that will help pre­pare you for col­lege and be­yond. To­gether we will work on com­mu­ni­cat­ing ef­fec­tively, build­ing an ar­gu­ment, adapt­ing your writ­ing for dif­fer­ent needs and sit­u­a­tions, in­ter­pret­ing, and re­spond­ing to a text, in­cor­po­rat­ing, and cit­ing sec­ondary source ma­te­r­ial. We will learn basic re­search tech­niques in­clud­ing li­brary use. We will be read­ing pieces both for their in­her­ent lit­er­ary and in­for­ma­tional value and as mod­els for our own writ­ing pro­jects. Shar­ing your own ideas and ex­pe­ri­ences and adding your voice to our dis­cus­sions will en­rich our class com­mu­nity. The “Co” in Eng­lish 1101Co stands for coreq­ui­site, which means that in ad­di­tion to the Eng­lish 1101 course­work, we will ded­i­cate time to strength­en­ing fun­da­men­tal read­ing and writ­ing skills. We will focus on en­hanc­ing vo­cab­u­lary and crit­i­cal read­ing skills, using step-by-step ap­proaches to writ­ing as­sign­ments, im­prov­ing gram­mar and punc­tu­a­tion skills, and cul­ti­vat­ing pos­i­tive habits for col­lege suc­cess, in­clud­ing note-tak­ing and study skills.

Every City Tech (and CUNY) student takes English 1101 Composition I, which features reading and writing assignments that will help prepare you for college and beyond. Together we will work on communicating effectively, building an argument, adapting your writing for different needs and situations, interpreting, and responding to a text, incorporating, and citing secondary source material. We will learn basic research techniques including library use. We will be reading pieces both for their inherent literary and informational value and as models for our own writing projects. Sharing your own ideas and experiences and adding your voice to our discussions will enrich our class community. The “Co” in English 1101Co stands for corequisite, which means that in addition to the English 1101 coursework, we will dedicate time to strengthening fundamental reading and writing skills.
