Abstract:

English 101 focuses on the analysis of basic human issues as presented in literature with an emphasis on analytic reading, writing and discussion, and on development of argumentative essays based on textual analysis, with attention to style, audience and documentation. By writing several analytical, thesis-driven essays which show engagement with and understanding of a variety of texts, students will practice the critical thinking, reading and writing skills which comprise an important component of college and university studies as well as clear, audience-appropriate communications in other professional settings.

This class is comprised of a series of three units, each of which is centered around an essay assignment. For each unit, in addition to the essay itself, you’ll be asked to respond to reading assignments and to complete exploratory writing assignments. You’ll do a lot of reading and writing, and your instructor will ask you to respond to ideas from our texts, from specific assignments, and from each other.
