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 resons to support/defend a position (both second term). |

学修内容 | (Both semesters use the same textbook, but different parts. Students can take only one term, or both terms without repeating any parts.) Week 1 - Introduction and Class Overview (Homework: prepare 2 questions for me) Week 2 - Main Idea and introduction to first paper (interview) (HW: prepare 10 questions to ask a partner) 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 4 - Effective "bodies" + second and supplementary interviews (HW: write first draft of 1st paper) (2nd Supplementary HW: Read "Conclusion" in the textbook, add one to your paper, decide which kind of conclusion it is.) 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.) (3rd Supplementary HW - organize details into "time order" and add time specific words to the details so it makes sense) Week 9 - Effective Bodies, including Revision 2 - deleting irrelevant material, improving from "basic English" Week 10 - Editing 2 - Verb Tense (HW: Edit paper based on today's lesson and partner comments (4th supplementary HW: Write final draft, send it to one partner I assign in class; read, revise and edit that paper. Have both ready for next week's meeting with me.) Week 11 - 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 12 - Turn in Final Paper. Parting words from the teacher. Week 14 - Final editing and short meetings with teacher (HW: Write final draft of Narrative paper) |
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. |
