Connections in Reading and Writing: English 1010 at SUU and Success Academy [Fall 2009]

English 1010

The goal of this course is to introduce you to critical reading, thinking, and expository writing. For our purposes, expository writing is essay writing that explains your thinking on a topic to a reading/listening audience. Expository writing is informative at the same time that it offers a position or way of thinking about the topic as a public issue of consequence. It can be understood, then, as a form of critical writing that does more, for example, than journalistic reporting but is not quite a way of presenting formal argument. Additionally, this course this semester will help you to make different connections between characters, ideas, and texts.

That being said, I know that most of you do not want to take this class!  For you, my goal is to help you see what good writing will do for the classes you do want to take and for your future.  I try to make the class as interesting and fun as it can be, so it won’t feel like a root canal after all.
