Welcome to ENGL 101: Writing Together!
What is writing, and how do we do it? Writing is a complex rhetorical and social process that requires continual improvement, and we can always learn more about it. In this course, you will write with peers and community partners to explore prior and new knowledge about writing. By engaging with a variety of concepts and perspectives, you will develop a wealth of rhetorical strategies that you can use to respond effectively to new writing contexts. By the end of the semester, you will develop your own theory of what writing is and how it is done.

As such, although all materials on this website are developed out of my own teaching materials (expect where indicated otherwise), I acknowledge that my own teaching materials have themselves often grown out of materials developed and supported by the Composition Program at UMass Boston.
