The Predator's Ball by Connie Bruck. 0140120904 Salvador by Joan Didion. Each assignment will be thoroughly explained in a handout and will have a link on the syllabus as well. I have scheduled in-class time for peer editing workshops, so please have drafts ready by the due date. You may revise either of your first two papers for a higher grade.
Rewrites are due by the final day of class.
You will also be responsible for a ten minute oral report in which you bring in a short piece of your favorite non-fiction writing and lead the class in a brief analysis of its conventions, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Students taking Professional Writing should have completed Engl. 0111, Expository Writing, or have the equivalent in transfer credit. It is also recommended that students have taken Engl. 0122, The Persuasive Voice. This class can be applied towards the Writing Certificate, or be used as an elective for all degrees.
