SRJC English Department's Literature Offerings: Spring 2009 Literature Index: Reading & Composition ENGLISH 1A Abby Bogomolny Section: 4800 TTh 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Emeritus Hall 1684 Santa Rosa Campus Section: 7093 TTh 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Emeritus Hall 1684 Santa Rosa Campus Does language merely express thought, or might particular ways of using language influence how we think . . . or even what we think about? Through reading, writing and critical thinking, this class will help us examine the ways we use language, but we will do more than identify distortions in grammar, word choice, and punctuation. We will identify successful academic writing styles in order to propel you toward writing clear, cogent prose. Among other works, we will read Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (the 08-09 English Department Work of Literary Merit selection), Octavia Butler's Kindred, and James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time. Expect to write five expository essays, one of which will be a research paper. Expect lots of discussion, active vocabulary work, in-class writing, essay revision and individual conferences. I am here to help! Recommended to students interested in improving their academic writing who are also interested in the social sciences. 4 units/4 hours lecture. Grade only. Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL 100B or higher (V8); OR completion of ENGL 100; OR completion of ESL 100. Critical reading and discussion of works in various literary forms.
