Instructor's Course Description:
For English 1000C:
This class will help build your critical reading and writing strategies and you will learn how to compose multimodal texts for multiple purposes. I plan on creating opportunities where our collective consciousness is raised about genre and discourse communities, and the rhetorical choices that constitute a community of practice to prepare you for academic, personal, and professional reading and writing.
In sum, we will evaluate the strategic rhetorical choices and power relations of specific texts, images, art, geographic spaces, music, and social institutions to raise our collective consciousness of discourse and power in society to unravel meaning beyond a text and you will showcase your understanding of our learning goals in your Google Sites Portfolio.
All activities, lessons, and discussions will be assigned to facilitate practice responding to texts; that is, reading and writing to summarize, analyze, and synthesize ideas, to build your critical thinking skills, and to train you how to effectively engage with texts via active reading strategies.

Technology Requirements?
You will need reliable access to a computer and the internet. Trying to get through all of the digital content and assignments on your phone will be extremely difficult. Please plan on using a laptop, Chromebook, desktop computer, or at minimum, a tablet for your coursework. If you do not have a computer, please let me know, I can connect you with services that may be able to provide you with one.
You aren't required to have a webcam or a microphone for this course. If you attend zoom office hours and don't have a webcam or mic, consider calling in from your phone instead. I will provide a google phone number.
