Description:

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.As a noun, a wonder is something that causes astonishment – a marvelous and remarkable thing. As a verb, to wonder means to be curious, or to be awed. In this class, we will explore the other worldly in order to, paradoxically, understand – and reimagine – our world. We will ask: Why do some artists and writers turn to the fantastical in order to confront the very real social arrangements of power and privilege that shape our contemporary lives? What role does imagination play in personal and social transformation? This course requires curiosity and an appetite for questions.
