Description
| |
| | This introductory course focuses mostly on drafting and revision -- or in other words, getting the words down, and then getting the words right. Taught in conjunction with the similar but more advanced Writing for the College-Bound, we shall proceed from pre-writing and getting ideas, through drafting with various purposes, to revision, and finally to forms of style. For a complete syllabus, see the combined College-Bound Writers website listed above.

Homework
| |
| | Homework involves weekly writing assignments, the most intensive being drafting essays from scratch and extensive rewriting. This will be a lot of work! The course is focused on the process and on teacher feedback, however, so the majority of the assignments are credit/no credit, and the final assignment is designed to have heavy instructor support throughout.

Instructor's Notes
| |
| | The combined College-Bound Writers courses (both this class and the standard level) have a combined enrollment minimum of five students -- i.e., if one class has three and another two, then they will both be taught. This minimum is hard and fast, unfortunately, but we hope enrollment will not be a problem.
