English Sequence

English I – An introduction to college-level academic writing and research. Instruction focuses on critical reading and analysis, composing and revising strategies, writing for varied rhetorical purposes, critical thinking, information literacy, and writing from sources.

English II – A sequel to English I in which students continue to develop their writing and research skills and study four Western cultural movements: the Enlightenment, Romanticism, Modernism, and Postmodernism. Students explore these movements through the critical reading of a range of texts, including fiction, poetry, drama, philosophy, political theory, cultural history, aesthetic criticism, and the personal essay.
