In this course, students admitted to the Minor in Writing will unpack what it means to write; why
and how we write; what writing may do; and how to plan, research, craft, and revise writing in appropriate multimodal genres for unique rhetorical situations and specific audiences. The Minor in Writing challenges students to consider how multimodality can enhance their communication, reflect their thought process, and emphasize writing as a collaborative process. Through wide reading of texts in a variety of genres, guided experimentation, peer review, instructor feedback, and
the creation of a writer’s website and future project pitch, you’ll further develop skills to be effective, curious, and self-reflective writers.
