Titanic Exploration will provide students opportunities to develop, extend, and refine the craft of writing while analyzing the historical impact of the legendary RMS Titanic. Students will develop their knowledge of the craft of writing by analyzing the characteristics of the personal stories, exploration, discoveries, and impact of the RMS Titanic. They will analyze the ways in which the themes of the Titanic represent a view or comment on life. Students will engage in interactive reading and writing assignments, all through the lens of the RMS Titanic, many of which include informal writing throughout the process. Students will move from pre-reading activities, through reading and post-reading activities, to formal writing or end-of-course project assignments. This is a 5-credit course that fulfills a G requirement of the UC/CSU Subject Area Requirements.
