If you can write and speak well, you greatly improve your chances of doing well in school and in life. In order to do this effectively you must learn strategies, skills, fundamentals, and practice it for a real purpose at the college level. We will be reading and analyzing texts on a "hot topic" and use it to create a synthesis research essay. You will come away with a new understanding of the English language and the tools to edit your own work more effectively. Have fun while learning one of the most important life skills: how to communicate effectively with an authentic purpose. This is not a remedial writing class or English as a second language.

Exercises in description, setting, character and dialog are used in the construction of a short story. Time is devoted to individual writing, editing, and revision, and to the writers’ groups where students learn to build competency and trust in evaluating each other’s work. Students compile a portfolio and contribute to a class anthology. This is not a remedial writing course.
