Theme: ?If Only We?re Brave Enough to Be It?: Writing for Change (Online Course)
Short Description: We are taught how to write according to strict rules and requirements, from the five-paragraph essay to not using ?I? in your writing. Too often, our writing is boring and not meaningful. Student writers, however, have been powerful sources for change in their communities. This course will empower you as a writer, giving you opportunities to write about issues and questions that are meaningful to you. We will read and write about ourselves and our communities, including writing by diverse young student writers, activists, and organizers whose work is helping to create positive changes in the world. You will have the opportunity to compose in multiple genres, including a multimodal research project, as you explore questions that interest you. In addition, you will reflect on your reading and writing practices in order to transfer your knowledge and skills to other tasks. You will experiment with language as you develop your personal writing style. Finally, we will learn how to make writing accessible for those with different disabilities, in keeping with our exploration of disability, racial, and social justice. If you?ve ever felt like you were not a good writer, this course will help you share your voice! This is a fully online, asynchronous course. You will need a computer, internet, and Canvas access. There are no set times for in-person or Zoom meetings, although you will meet with the instructor independently and with small groups, with a choice of times for meetings. Online courses can be really flexible, accessible, and welcoming. Students often appreciate that they have more choices over when and how they learn. However, online courses are not for everyone. Please email the instructor if you have questions about the course and whether it would be a good fit for you.
