  I aspire to create a multimedia composition course that will present material by utilizing student-led discussions

  technology-driven writing assignments

  and in-class learning communities. I will provide students with realistic applications for strong writing by encouraging innovative thinking

  self-assessment

  and subject mastery. My approach to teaching composition will emphasize critical thinking and fundamental reading skills which are integral to correct writing and sound research practices. In my course

  students are encouraged to improve their reading comprehension

  broaden their understanding of intellectual property rights

  recognize how to avoid plagiarism

  and discriminate between satiric

  propagandistic

  and credible online sources for their papers. I'll impart the rhetorical principles of logical

  ethical

  and emotional appeals for construction of their essays and provide exercises on summarizing

  analyzing

  and evaluating traditional and multimedia text formats. Weekly writing assignments will include informal writing responses

  in-class revisions

  formal papers

  and journal submissions that adhere to a scoring criterion which evaluates writing proficiency.\n\nMy educational philosophy is shaped by my conversations with undergraduate students expressing their frustration with the lack of student interest topics in essay subjects

  the deficiency of technology integration beyond the Microsoft Office suite

  and the absence of innovative techniques to feature in their collegiate final essays and projects for future employers. \n\nTEACHING AREAS / COURSES PREPARED TO TEACH \nReading Skills for College \nEnglish Composition\nExpository Writing\nIntroduction to Multimedia Composition\nCreative Writing - Fiction
