Media Writing Fundamentals

Media Writing Fundamentals emphasizes elements of the writing process and textual analysis in context. We will consider writing as a social act that occurs always within a particular context, and analyse the choices available to writers in those contexts. The course develops essential communication skills in a multi-media context: textual analysis, critical thinking, and clear writing-including correct grammar and punctuation. Students reflect upon their own writing process, examine and practice strategies for thinking, planning, drafting, and revising.
