ENG 317 Writing Everything
Genre-centered courses like essay writing and creative writing focus on those defined genres, and instruction is targeted on providing experience and crafting of those areas. This course is designed to offer the student the opportunity to continue to work on writing, and to add other genres to his/her writing toolbox. Instruction in this course will build on the strategies and techniques learned in other writing classes and extend the student’s repertoire to include non-academic, real-world writing experiences.
The student will participate in the Writer’s Workshop and bring to the class his/her works-in-progress; continue to read and learn from the work of professional writers and apply these critical techniques to writing and revising his/her own work.
The student will be expected to develop both as a critic and writer, to participate in classroom discussions and private conferences with me, and to submit a portfolio of work at end of the semester.
