Course Description:
This course introduces students to writing as a conscious and developmental activity. Students learn to read, think, and write in response to a variety of texts, to integrate their ideas with those of others, and to treat writing as recursive process. Through this work with texts, students are exposed to a range of reading and writing techniques they can employ in other courses and are introduced to fundamental skills of information literacy. Students work individually and collaboratively, participate in peer review, and learn to take more responsibility for their writing development. Placement into this course is determined by multiple measures, including high school achievement and SAT scores. 4.000 Credit hours.
My Description:
Throughout this course, we continued to learn new things in every class. We looked at writing skills we already knew and applied that with the new tools we were learning. We looked at multiple texts and made sure we understood it all. We created annotations while reading along with the texts. We also learned how to respond to text and what to take from it. Along with those key things that we were introduced to we also learned how to work collaboratively with our peers along with working individually. Lastly, we always looked back on our work to see what we can improve next time and what we are succeeding with.
