COURSE GUIDELINES
This writing class will be different than courses you may have taken in the past because there will be an experiential component to this course. Our experiences focus on issues of Community and Power, specifically here, in West Philadelphia. A series of experiences will serve as a kind of “text” that we will analyze; our readings and personal experiences will also shape our analysis of these experiences. Writing will be our way to clarify, articulate, question, and draw conclusions about Community and Power—so while you sharpen your writing skills, you will be equally sharpening your skills of observation, your ability to read and confront difficult texts, and your critical analysis skills. This is a new, experimental course strategy. I welcome your feedback at any time.
