Rather than creating a single new project for ENC1101 or ENC1102, we decided to create an alternative course structure for ENC1102. Our revision to the curriculum focuses on revising the three central projects, in an attempt to foster a continuous focus on rhetoric in all its different forms. Also, we hope to create in our students an awareness of the power of rhetoric to create change in our society.
1102 Semester Overview:
This course is designed to facilitate critical thinking and effective writing skills by engaging in an analysis of rhetoric in its many manifestations while employing the techniques of process writing. Students will be expected to analyze written, visual, and oral rhetoric as well as produce rhetoric in these various forms—all under the overarching theme of rhetoric as a means for producing social change.
One very important and noteworthy difference between the three major essays provided below and the way that the Projects are constructed at this time is that the Projects below have a much greater and more consistently stated emphasis on Rhetoric. These projects originally emerged from a concern that there was a disconnect in ENC1102 between rhetorical analysis and actual arguments. By highlighting and emphasizing the role of rhetorical analysis in ALL THREE major writing Projects, we believe that these Project Options offer a NEW and useful alternative to the projects as they are structured currently.
In addition to Project handouts, we have also included a list of readings, as well as a few additional assignments which are tailored to these new projects.
