Writing 2 continues the work begun in Writing 1 on strengthening students' ability to write, read and discuss at the college level, with emphasis on literary and visual analysis, and research and argumentation skills. The course will revolve around a specific theme selected by the instructor.COURSE DESCRIPTION:Learn more about what matters to you, by engaging in research that may include readings, interviews, and field trips. Develop higher competencies in the skills of reading, critical thinking, advanced research, and writing. Practice the creative process of writing and research on the assigned topic of education reform, then learn to read, respond, and apply your own interests, ideas, and critical stance to topics of your choice. Practice the writing process from brainstorms, outlines, research, drafts, and revisions through peer workshops, tutor visits, librarian consultations, and instructor feedback. Assignments will involve you with practical writing tasks such as quotation, paraphrasing, summary, integration, argument, and use of subjective and objective perspectives. In the spirit of student-led learning and class camaraderie, your grade will depend on your critical listening skills and reviews of classmates' work as well as your own productions.
