ProfLaTourette’s Profile
My Courses
This section of ENG 1101, we will explore and employ multiple writing strategies such as thesis working, drafting, and introducing you all to the world of academic writing. Our class will explore the power of language as a tool of influence over a slew of topics such as culture, politics, and technology. In particular, we will also explore how various genres, such as news articles, memoir, animation, and video are used to target audiences and the many different ways to write in the public sphere.

WAC Digital Initiatives: Writing Intensive Certification
Current and potential writing intensive (WI) course instructors now have the opportunity to complete the certification process online, in a fast-tracked method well-suited to some faculty members’ crammed schedules. Over the course of the academic year, this born-digital initiative offers faculty a space in which they can view past workshops; discuss how WAC principles work in their own classrooms and disciplines; and submit and share resources. After participating in this project, faculty will submit a portfolio of revised materials to complete the certification process.
Online space for faculty members of the English Department to collaborate, share resources, have conversations, and archive departmental materials. *Avatar Photo Credit: magnetic fridge poetry, Steve Johnson, July 3, 2007: https://flic.kr/p/86hhuk
