The development of this course builds an advanced non-fiction writing curriculum around multi-modal approaches to process, delivery and rhetorical strategy. Students are asked to examine expository writing strategies in light of both alphabetic text (“traditional composition”) and digital composing modes. Students examine what it means to write about self and others, to explain tricky subjects to particular audiences, and to compose for multiple modalities, using the strategies of expository composition in new ways.
