Course Description

Welcome to ENG 101 - Foundations of Writing and Rhetoric . In this course, we will construct and analyze various forms of writing (multimodal literacies). ENG 101 is a process writing course. Students in this course approach writing as a subject of study by investigating how writing works across a variety of contexts. Most Minnesota State Mankato students take this course during their first years of college.

In ENG 101, students will investigate how writing works by:

• Increasing genre awareness, rhetorical knowledge, and use of multimodalities,

• Exploring language variation and multiliteracies by context,

• Developing information literacy through primary and secondary research,

• Reflecting on writing processes and labor, and

• Collaborating to create and revise texts.
