Theme: Developing your Superpower - Writing for Action
Short Description: The pen is mightier than the sword. Now prove it! Let?s examine, explore, practice, and play with the skill, the art, and the power of writing in order to take action to improve the state of our world. Through an inquiry-based approach into how writers of various genres have helped effect change, we will explore the power of key rhetorical concepts. We will then develop our skills, as writers, learners, and leaders, by compiling a writer?s notebook in which we analyze writing strategies, articles, and discussions. Finally, you will design your own battle of the pen by producing an annotated bibliography which will lead to a well-developed research paper to help a person fight a struggle of your choice. We will be meeting several times via recommended Zoom class meetings to discuss materials to a deeper level, answer questions, clarify concepts, and analyze examples and student writing, while we will use Canvas to access materials, analyze ideas through online discussions, peer review our work, and submit assignments.
Add deadline: June 30, 2023, at 5 pm.
