(Class #3)
On the broadest level, our first unit is designed to equip us with a deeper "genre awareness," starting with mainstream (non-academic) genres. We'll also be working on developing some crucial skills, including gathering data, detecting patterns, formulating insights, refining arguments, and supporting arguments with evidence.
You might be thinking, "Gah! I'm not sure I know how to do any of that yet!" If so, don't sweat it -- I've got you covered. We have two informal mini-projects (PB1A and PB1B) that will each prepare us for WP1. Also, in true "trust the process" form, we'll spend a considerable amount of time on revising our WP1 assignments.
