Overview:
We will be writing informally and formally in this class. The informal writing are journal entries and critical reading analyses. The formal writing are five papers, along with their rough drafts. We will read stories, listen to music, and examine visual images. These modes of communicating will help us think about writing to express ourselves. A portfolio statement will be submitted as a part of the writing portfolio.
