English 102 aims to support student development in the four learning goals defined for all first-year courses in the Writing Program:
- Goal 1: Rhetorical Awareness. Learn strategies for analyzing texts’ audiences, purposes, and contexts as a means of developing facility in reading and writing.
-We accomplished this goal by writing about our rhetorical action plan
- Goal 2: Critical Thinking and Composing. Use reading and writing for purposes of critical thinking, research, problem solving, action, and participation in conversations within and across different communities.
-We accomplished this goal when we started doing research for our project that forced us to think critically about the type of genre we should use.
- Goal 3: Reflection and Revision. Understand composing processes as flexible and collaborative, drawing upon multiple strategies and informed by reflection.
-We accomplished this goal by reflecting on this weeks work and commenting on other peers blog to get a good idea of how the rest of the class answered the questions.
- Goal 4: Conventions. Understand conventions as related to purpose, audience, and genre, including such areas as mechanics, usage, citation practices, as well as structure, style, graphics, and design.
-Most of the work this week dealt with audience and genre, which has been a very important point in our projects.
