Greetings From Your Instructor
Greetings From Your Instructor
π I'm Sarah Lisha, and I will be your online instructor for EWRT 1B: Reading, Writing, and Research. I am so excited to be working with all of you this quarter! π
π In this class, we will be reading, writing, and critically thinking about literature. π€ But, what exactly is literature? Sometimes literature can seem like old texts that are not connected with our lives. In this class, we will question that notion by examining non-traditional texts like pop culture, music and graphic novels. I hope we have fun this quarter!
π Thank you for taking this class. I am here to support you.
πI'll see you online! You'll also find the links to the college and to log-in to our course at the bottom of this page.
