Course Overview:Ā
This intro-level course introduces students to 3 types of writing: creative, expository, and persuasive. At the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of two creative fiction stories, 4 expository essays, and one persuasive essay. Students will also read novels from various genres, including fairytales, science fiction, fantasy, humor fiction, and historical fiction. In each class, the instructor will provide a PowerPoint to aid students' learning; students can also access a library of video lectures intended to be watched as supplemental lessons to support studentsā learning. Video lectures are not intended to substitute lectures; instead, they are intended so students will learn course material with repetition. Office hours will be available by appointment, and students should always contact the instructor for support.
