So Composition 2 will focus on academic, researched writing, with special attention toward analysis and argumentation.
In our class, we will read and discuss Orwell's 1984 (the subject of our research paper), take three short tests on the novel, propose a research topic related to the novel, write ten abstracts after finding appropriate sources, study academic argumentation and analysis,write one paper related to 1984, and take a final exam on the course content. We will also work on editing and usage problems in written English as needed.

Course Materials: My classes need only my freely accessible HyperTextBooks, and a copy of George Orwell's 1984. The complete novel is available online from a number of sources. I will have one for you on ECAMS under hyperlinks.
