課程概述

This is a writing-training course for students of all levels who wish to study paragraph writing on general topics. Students will learn five organizational patterns over the semester--enumerating, process, illustration, narration, and summarizing--and a small amount of essay writing at the end of the course. For each organizational pattern, students will learn the writing process: how to narrow down a topic, write for a specific audience, generate ideas, write a topic sentence, make an outline, and finally, complete a paragraph. Two weekly paragraph-writing assignments are required--a rewrite and a new paragraph on a new topic. This course trains students to write a coherent, unified paragraph and prepares students to meet the challenges of essay writing.
