ENG 401 UNDERSTANDING WRITING Grade 9 (Requirement) “Understanding Writing” is a mandatory course for all freshmen (all freshmen will be required to take English I as well). The course is based on the research and recommendations of an educational movement devoted to improving writing skills nationwide by teaching clear and concise writing while integrating the rules of grammar in the context of writing. This new approach focuses on a “scope-not-sequence” chart that emphasizes five basic categories: 1) teaching concepts of subject, verb, sentence, clause, phrase and related editing 2) teaching style through sentence combining and sentence generating 3) teaching sentence sense and style through the manipulation of syntactic elements 4) teaching the power of dialects and dialects of power 5) teaching punctuation and mechanics for convention, clarity and style The course will emphasize the process of writing and will include individualized instruction and small-group activities. “Understanding Writing” will also serve as the foundation for the writing students will do later in high school and also prepare them for writing tasks on standardized tests, such as the PAARC, SAT, and AP exams.
