Writing 1 [Multilingual Learner] is an introduction to college-level writing, reading and discussion specifically designed for students whose native language is not English. Initial writing assignments will involve students with language as a personally expressive, creative, and imaginative medium. Later assignments will bring this expressiveness to bear on practical writing tasks typical of college-level work: research, analysis, argument, etc. Reading is designed to stimulate discussion and present models for students' own writing. Although writing and reading are the main emphases, attention will also be given to informal discussion and oral presentation.Pablo Picasso once said, “We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth”. During the next fifteen weeks, whether you agree, disagree, or don’t know what he is talking about, you will learn how to explore, understand, and express your own views about the relationship between art, truth, and yourself. Your own art, the art of others, both famous and not, readings, video, and other media will be your raw material to develop a new way of thinking and expressing yourself coherently using the art of the written word.
