    This Honors section of English Composition assumes a strong foundation in writing skills, including developing and organizing a focused piece of writing and using current conventions of academic discourse. Therefore, the major emphasis will be an in-depth exploration of a socially relevant theme chosen by instructor and/or students using those skills and producing a collaborative, unified body of work rather than isolated individual essays. In a workshop format, the class will work as a community of writers to define and to solve a writing problem. Discussions, readings, interviews, primary research, and extensive writing will result in a culminating final product and presentation that would incorporate the work of the entire term.
