Formal Assignments

The three formal assignments from my Introduction to the Writing Minor class can be found here.

Why I Write Essay: “This assignment presents you an opportunity to tell the truth about your desire to write and what you hope to achieve with the medium. Since the subject explicitly fuses autobiography and intellectual assessment of the category of writing entire, your audience is already determined: all those who share your interest in the form and how any given individual encounters and imagines it.”

Repurposed Essay: “The purpose of this essay is to stretch your writing expertise and strategies in a focused and reflective way as a step toward meeting your writing goals for the Minor and more generally.”

Remediated Essay: “The aim of this project is to try your hand at new media writing, beyond the blogging you’ve been doing all term, and to consider the ways that medium and form affect argument, audience, and purpose.”

Take a look at my process by viewing the original essays, the drafts, and the final revisions.
