SALT LAKE COMMUNITY COLLEGEHIGH SCHOOL CONCURRENT ENROLLMENTENGLISH 1010-INTRODUCTION TO WRITINGSPRING SEMESTER, 2017Instructor’s Contact InformationName: Rebecca BlommerEmail: rebecca.blommer@slcschools.orgWork: (801) 484-4343 ext. 231Room: D206Required TextbookThe Academic Writer: A Brief Guide (3rd edition) by Lisa EdeAvailable at the SLCC bookstore for purchase, or a few copies are reserved at the HHS bookroom for feewaiver students. Another option is to rent a textbook from Highland for a 15 charge.Course DescriptionThis is a college course. We will complete the sameassignments and use the same textbook as the oncampus course; nothing will be watered down.Therefore, it is the expectation that you have anincreased level of maturity in this class, both in thelevel of our discussions and in the way you manageyourself. Disruptive or disrespectful behavior willnot be tolerated; you will simply be dropped fromthe class.The major purposes of this course are:---to engage in intellectual inquiry and dialogue,---to work toward a better understanding of the process of writing,---to improve your confidence in your ability to write, and---to use rhetorical strategies competently.If you do not feel ready for this level of attitude and performance, you should seriously consider droppingthe course now, as a poor grade will remain on your college transcript and could affect future scholarshipopportunities.This course examines concepts of rhetoric, research, and argumentation placing a strong emphasis on thewriting process, including invention, drafting, peer review, and revision. All the lecturing and note-takingin the world will not make you better writers, so that will seldom be our format. We become betterwriters by writing, assessing, and re-writing. We will also do a great deal of collaborative work andhave frequent class discussions. With this interdependent class format, other students will be dependingupon you for success.We will read our own writing and the writings of others in class carefully and with thoughtful andconcrete feedback. It is therefore essential for everyone to feel safe and respected. Because writing is apersonal endeavor, a comfortable workshop environment will allow us to work together to produce workthat we are proud of. Ideally, we will become a community of thinkers, readers, writers, and learnersengaged in a mutual pursuit of skill, knowledge and understanding, seeking and respecting the opinions ofothers by responding to them intelligently and with open minds.1
