Welcome to Writing 4!

The goal of this course is to improve your writing in English, but NOT ONLY for Academic purposes. We will learn skills that can be applied to academic contexts (summaries, reported speech, compare/contrast, etc). However, we will also practice writing emails, poetry, film reviews, letters, and other fun topics.

A very important part of writing is the drafting process. Every week you will receive a new topic (posted here) and will work on your essay all week. On Friday, you will publish your final draft to your personal blog. At the end of the quarter, you will choose your four (4) best pieces of work and revise them again for your personal writing portfolio.

This course is about improving the fluidity of your writing and your comfort working in English. Throughout this class you will read short texts in English and comment on them. You will participate in an online class forum to discuss technical issues and make comments about American culture. You will watch short films on the internet, and you will review a full-length feature film.
