This course emphasizes theory and practice in reading and composition. While the reading and writing may include rhetorical patterns such as narration, description, comparison/contrast, cause/effect, etc., the majority of assignments will focus on a combination of such patterns in argumentative writing, including but not limited to pro/con, evaluative, and proposal essays. Instruction in current research methods and MLA formatting, culminating in either one 10-page or two 5-page research papers
