In this class you will practice the writing process from the planning to the revising stages. The class is structured by the theme “Documenting Reality.” Through this theme we will examine various documentary forms, such as newspapers and magazines, film, fiction, web sites, art, music, and “reality” T.V. You will examine, explore, and critique the many different ways in which we document our reality, and will learn to respond to various texts and situations with various genres of writing. You will learn to become an effective college writer, and learn the skills necessary to succeed as a writer in both your future classes and career. In addition to this, you will learn the skills necessary to complete various
types of research, as well as documentation styles (such as MLA) you will encounter in college. This course is structured with the common goals of all
108 classes in mind (a list of these common goals will be provided for you), and uses the theme of “Documenting Reality” as a means for focusing course writing and discussion.
