Course Overview:
This intro-level course emphasizes skills outlined in the common core standards, specifically reading comprehension, writing, and language usage. In particular, this class has three modules: (1) Creative Writing Analysis and Fantasy, (2) Fiction/Mystery and Informational Writing (3) Humor Fiction and Opinion Writing. At the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of pieces representing the three writing areas that reflect their new reading, writing, and language skills. Each class will include a homework assignment, and students should remember that they can access free video lectures to supplement their learning if they feel behind. As a side note, video lectures are not intended to substitute lectures. Instead, they are designed so students will learn course material with repetition. TA Office hours will be by appointment.
