Student Learning Outcome: By the end of the course, you should be able to do this:

In an in-class writing task based on a short intermediate-level text which was discussed in class, students will write a multi-paragraph essay responding to the reading. The essay should be relatively free of basic grammar errors (but may still have some intermediate-level grammar problems), have a clear thesis, body paragraphs which support the thesis, each containing a quote or specific example from the reading, transitions at the beginning of each paragraph, and a competent introduction and conclusion.
