To learn how to build a sturdy, useful and beautiful building, it is necessary to do three things: study the buildings of others, learn how to best use the basic elements of building (wood, stone, glass, etc.), and practice the craft of building by creating different types of structures, from barns to museums. Therefore, in this course, we will look closely at the diverse work of master writers, practice careful reading and textual analysis, and foster critical thinking skills. We will engage in intensive practice using the tools and raw materials of writing: grammar, sentence structure, pre-compositional techniques for organizing ideas, and paragraph development. And finally, we will apply our study and intensive practice to the complex art of essay construction, building rustic barns and urban museums with style.Course also known as:
