In this class we’ll explore the geography, history, communities and cultures of San Francisco, both through readings and getting out of the classroom and into this city’s many amazing neighborhoods. Get to know this great city as you build skills in reading, writing and speaking, as well as analysis, research and self-expression.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.
