After an introductory, diagnostic essay, students will be asked to write multi-paragraph, multi-draft papers for a variety of purposes. The lesson content of this course is varied, covering topics like the writing process, connotation, wordiness, and clichés, before ending with a series of lessons on writing mechanics.
