ENG 315 Writing About Self & Identity
Our sense of who we are permeates every part of our lives. Through writing, students will explore how their identities shape their roles in families, cultures, and communities as they navigate and communicate in an ever-evolving world of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Instruction in this course builds on the strategies and techniques learned in other writing classes and extends your repertoire to include non-academic, real-world writing experiences. You’ll participate in the Writer’s Workshop and bring to the class your works-in-progress, continue to read and learn from the work of professional writers, and apply these critical techniques to writing and revising your work. You’ll be expected to develop both as a critic and writer, to participate in classroom discussions and private confabs with the instructor, and to submit a Semester Text (re-named) and Argument Essay/Letter at end of the semester.
