English 101  First-Year Composition

Section 031 Class (18747) Monday – Friday 9:00-11:50AM MLNG-404

This course emphasizes close reading and written analysis of a wide range of
texts such as short stories, poems, novels, plays, and film. Through both
formal and informal writing assignments, you will practice a variety of
methods for examining these texts. For example, you will consider how
personal experience shapes a reader’s understanding and how the language of
a text reflects the values of the culture that has produced it. You will
make careful use of research to examine connections among texts. For the
final unit, you will revise one of your analytical essays and compose an
essay about the changes that went into your revision, reflecting on
specific, practical applications of your learning over the course of the
semester

 

English 109H Advanced First-Year Composition (Honors English)

Section 031 Class (20495) Monday – Friday 9:00-11:50AM MLNG-213

In order to engage publics, English Honors Composition students will become
researchers of, participants in, and creators of public discourse. The
following objectives should strengthen your ability to: Analyze texts
through close reading and critical thinking. Develop strategies for
analyzing texts for particular purposes, audiences, and contexts. Write
essays that develop analyses with evidence drawn from the texts you read.
Practice research, reading, writing, and revision strategies that can be
applied to work in other courses and in different professions. Use the
conventions of scholarly research, analysis, and documentation to practice
research as a process. Create multiple, meaningful revisions of writing and
suggest useful revision to other writers.

 

English 306 Advanced Composition
Topic: Youth Revolution & Resistance
Section 031 Class (21550) Monday – Friday 9:00-11:50AM MLNG-403

In this advanced composition course, we will learn about the complexities of
youth revolutionary discourse in various regions, from Egypt to Tucson. We
will compose projects that explore and research concepts of revolution and
resistance, asking such questions as: What is a revolution? What are
revolutionary acts? Under what circumstances do revolutions occur? What are
the consequences and effects of revolutions? And how might youth writing and
rhetoric motivate resistance and transformation? Writing for this course
will include personal narrative, rhetorical analysis, and resistance genres
such as slam poetry and zines. Questions? Please contact Amanda Fields at
afields at email.arizona.edu.
