The course will focus on the ability to describe a piece of art, a poem, a film, music, etc. If you can describe something, you are 90% of the way to actually saying something significant. Or put another way, describing is thinking. You have to make choices; you have to lead your reader so that they can see or experience what you see and experience. If you learn to do this, you will never suffer writer’s block again in your life.Writing 1 is an introduction to college-level writing, reading, and discussion. 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 the students'own writing. Although writing and reading are the main emphases, attention will also be given to informal discussion and oral presentation.
