This class will provide direct writing instruction in the stages of the writing process. As a class, students will work through each stage of the writing process in order to understand that writing is a recursive, iterative process that must be internalized as they practice effective writing practices. As part of this process, students will submit a piece of writing using a genre and topic of their choice that serves a specific purpose and addresses a particular audience.
