ENG 1010: Intro to Writing

Overview for Instructors: This course provides extended engagement with rhetorical concepts and extended practice with close and critical reading and writing. A main aim in 1010 is to develop in students the analytical and rhetorical habits of mind that are necessary for successful reading and writing in academic, civic, and personal contexts they encounter in and beyond college. These include ways of thinking about texts as purpose-driven, audience-centered, and socially, culturally, and historically situated. It begins building and/or begins to solidify students’ confidence and capability as readers and writers in academic contexts, and through careful assignment design and sequencing, considers writing in civic and personal contexts as well. 1010 emphasizes the importance of finding writing and revision processes that work for students. The end of the course should focus on rhetorically-informed textual production as a bridge to 2010.
