学修の目的と方法

授業の概要 Practice writing short compositions (multi-paragraph) in English. Learning American/English styles and formats of short composition writing.
学修の目的 I am aiming at teaching a skill; not merely "getting some information." Students can "get information" by reading a book. To develop this writing skill, students are expected to write and participate in conversation during clas (every week). Students will also develop their intellects when learning to write in an engaging and/or persuasive manner. Finally, students will learn to become sensitive to the different English writing styles.
学修の到達目標 Upon finishing this class, students should be able to confidently (1) write short essays in English in proper English writing styles, (2) revise their own essays - and the essays of others - for improvement beyond mere spelling and grammar, and (3) understand the difference between writing a personal introduction, telling a narrative (both first term), giving examples to illustrate a point, and giving reasons to support/defend a position (both second term).

Week 3 - Main Idea (continued), Body and Interviewing (HW: write a main idea sentence for this paper)
(1st Supplementary Homework: Begin body of the paper, add transition signals)

Week 5 - Revising (HW: Revise paper based on today's revision)
Week 6 - Editing (HW: edit paper after another student checks it, write final draft)
Week 7 - Turn in first writing, begin "Narrative" writing (HW: choose a topic for narrative writing)
Week 8 - Review of first papers, teacher feedback, review of Narrative topic selections (HW: write an extensive list of possible details that could be used in the paper.)

Week 14 - Individual meetings with students, final advise and checking to be sure that all homework was done. (HW: Write Final draft to hand in next week)
Week 15 - Turn in Final Paper. Parting words from the teacher.
事前・事後学修の内容 Students are expected to do about 3-4 hours of work outside of class each week. This breaks down to 1-2 hours of preparation for the next week's lesson, and 2-3 hours of writing, revising, and/or editing assigned the previous week. Some weeks (especially the first few weeks) will be lighter. As we get to the major papers, homework will take longer to accomplish. Therefore, the average will be around 3-4 hours per week.
事前学修の時間:120分/回    事後学修の時間:120分/回
