ENG 211 Intermediate Composition Credits: (3)
Intermediate Composition gives students the chance to extend and further develop the rhetorical, writing, and research skills developed in ENG 103 and 104 through exploration of, and experimentation in, genres common to academic writing, with an emphasis on researched writing and/or multimedia production. The rhetorical and contextual limits of the essay form will also be explored (i.e. when a traditional, academic essay is not a “good enough” response to a particular rhetorical context). Students will reinforce knowledge of the writing process through multi-draft writing, peer- and teacher-led writing workshops, and reflection. Students will compose shorter pieces throughout the semester as well as a longer, more complex piece of writing or multi-media project showcasing what they have learned. As a result of taking this class, students will become better and more versatile writers. Prerequisite(s): ENG 103 and ENG 104 .
