Course: FSCC 100 Graphic Memoir

Instructor: Mary Assad

Students: Dania Farhan, Aylina Kypchakbaeva, Nandita Patil, Evelin Urbancsok

Abstract: What are graphic memoirs, and what can we learn from reading them? What does it take to write one of your own? Our class spent the semester reading, analyzing, and producing graphic memoirs. With the added bonus of workshops led by a CIA alum, we learned comics vocabulary and visual communication strategies, and we applied that knowledge to our explorations of several published memoirs. We then turned to the production side and developed our own graphic memoirs based on personal experiences, using digital and hand-drawn techniques. Other activities included creating vlogs, writing short textual memoirs, and drawing comic strips.

In this virtual CSWR presentation, three students from our class share some of their projects that represent the range of work we've done this semester. Dania is sharing a sneak preview of her graphic memoir. Aylina is sharing two textual memoirs she wrote for our class along with a bonus poem she wrote outside of class. Nandita is sharing an analysis of Persepolis as well as the query letter for her soon-to-be-published graphic memoir. Evelin is sharing one of her vlogs and a sneak preview of her graphic memoir. We hope you enjoy and look forward to your feedback!

Sarina Death in Picture Books.mp4

Course: FSSY 185R-100 Children's Picture Books

Instructor: Cara Byrne

Student(s): Pelumi Obasa, Sarina Wills

Abstract: Picture books may teach young readers basics like how to read, what sounds animals make, and how to count to ten, but they also shape children’s understanding of the world around them, including an awareness of the rules and morals that define what it means to be a good person. In this seminar, we studied how children’s picture books communicate social norms and ethics. By examining the underlying messages in these deceptively simple books, we uncovered surprisingly complicated visions of the world.

As part of their final research project, these students chose a picture book, analyzed it, and made an original argument. Their classmates voted on their presentation as being the best in the class.

Abstract: The course investigates language from how it was born, to how it changes, shapes our identity and the way we think, can become global, to how it becomes endangered and can become extinct. One of the projects students have been working on this semester is to construct their own language, with its own orthography, lexicon, and grammar. At the CSWR, students will be showcasing recorded elevator pitch presentations of their constructed language.

Course: FSCC 110 Writing and Rewriting Literacies and Communities

Instructor: Kimberly Emmons

Student(s): Hannah Boehringer, Lu Chen, Jarvis Chen, Oneal Egwuatu, Benjamin Kau, Lauren Kim, Aiden Le, Gloria Lee, Isaac Opoku, Deborah Park, Rebecca Ryu, William Song, Aidyn Zingale

Abstract: Writing is both a personal and a social project. This fall, we have explored our own literacy journeys, analyzed the ways that discourse communities use language to achieve their goals, and investigated the causes and potential solutions to community problems. Throughout our investigations, we have examined the ways writing is used to shape, maintain, and change communities that are important to each of us. In the presentations we are sharing at the Celebration of Student Writing and Research, each student prepared an “elevator pitch” presenting their final projects (each video is approximately 2-3 minutes long). We hope you enjoy our work!

Course: FSCC 110 Foundations of College Writing

Instructor: Martha Schaffer

Student(s): Emily Bropst, Nathan Cikalo, Casey Hishinuma, May Hopkins, Joseph Hwang, Helen Kwon, Jedelle Lafeunte, Ithabeleng Makhetha, Mariana Verdi Pita, Isabel Verheyen, Shukai Zhang, Jennifer Zheng, Timothy Lee, Abigail Alvarado, Juan Beaver, Kine Buie, Catherine Choi, Ethan Dahlem, Isabella Devai, David Gudiel, Hyunyi Kim, Anoushkha Koutharapu, Sterling Price, Evan Stuart, Luyi Wang, Marilyn Zhou

Abstract: Foundations of College Writing explores writing as both a personal and social project. In this course, students develop personal habits and routines to create a writing process for themselves. And, they explore persuasion and community conventions to participate in the world around them. In their final projects, writers analyze a social problem that is negatively affecting a community that they care about, and then weigh alternative causes and solutions to examine the problem from the community's perspective. The challenge of the project is to engage both critical thinking and ethical responsibility in their arguments. In panels addressing similar social issues, students will remix their written arguments in order to present them to a new audience that extends beyond their communities. Students will present their ideas at the in-person Celebration of Student Writing and Research on Friday, December 3 between noon and 3:00 at the KSL Collaboration Commons.
