- Course Catalog Description:
- Students in WRIT 1401 work with a local community organization as they explore writing processes and practices and rhetorical principles that provide a framework for successful written communication in college and beyond. Students analyze how writing works in varying contexts/genres and how it presents complex arguments with an emphasis on exploring ways that writing works to support change in communities and to promote social justice. Students use and expand their writing process and revision to develop writing form/style and rhetorical content that contributes to conversations and provides new insight. Students develop information literacy and hone the ability to locate, evaluate, and effectively and ethically incorporate information into their own texts. The blended course modality combines two credit hours/week of small face-to-face class with two credit hours of online instruction in Canvas, in addition to weekly homework assignments. An additional 2 lab hours/week provide a common time and place reserved for work on and with our community partners. These are considered homework hours. WRIT 1401 fulfills the first-year writing requirement.
- Class Notes:
- Blended sections of WRIT 1401 require weekly in-person attendance as well as weekly asynchronous work in Canvas. Students in this section of WRIT 1401 will partner with TakeAction MN, a local non-profit organization that does community organizing work to advocate for social change. Take Action Minnesota is "a multiracial, multi-generational, grassroots membership organization...building a people-powered movement across our state for a government and economy that works for all of us." The writing projects that students work on as part of this partnership may include research, interviewing, storytelling and multimodal product curation and creation. The work will support the student learning goals of the first-year writing course and the mission and work of TakeAction Minnesota.
- Class Description:
- WRIT 1401 fulfills the first-year writing requirement. It challenges students to think strategically about developing and communicating ideas within different contexts. Students examine increasingly challenging texts as they apply their writing processes, with feedback from the instructor and peers, in order to craft thesis-driven academic analyses and arguments. Students master the concepts of audience, purpose, and context to demonstrate effective communication both for and beyond an academic audience. Classroom activities include discussion of readings, peer review, informal writing assignments. Students craft focused thesis statements that articulate a clearly reasoned position and use credible evidence to support a sustained argument. Through guided practice, students refine their control over focus, organization, style, diction, and grammar, and use the revision process to achieve their writing goals. Students use University libraries to locate, evaluate, and apply scholarly sources. Some sections may focus on writing with and for new media. Some sections may include a service-learning component.
