MCEN1010 · Messina College
MCBC
As in all First Year Writing Seminar (FWS) sections, this course is intended to prepare students for writing at the college level. Exploring themes of culture and crossing borders, we will write in a variety of genres from personal narratives to critical essays drawn from interviews and research. We will delve into experiences of crossing borders to raise questions about identity and community. Students will read published texts and works by BC writers. You will be encouraged to compose fresh, innovative prose and learn to give and receive productive feedback. On occasion, student writers will present their polished work to their peers in the classroom and online.
