Welcome to ENC1101!

Hi everyone and welcome to your ENC 1101 Class Blog!

This blog will serve as our point of reference throughout the semester. You’ll be able to find links to hand outs and readings, as well as an up-to-date calendar. You’ll be creating your own blogs, too, for a fun place to keep some of your class writings. 

This section of ENC 1101 follows the “Engaging Cultural Mediums” strand here at FSU and aims to help you improve your fluency and rhetorical sophistication, develop the skills to write for a variety of audiences, and practice critical reading, writing, and response techniques. More specifically, in this course we want to focus on the power of language—the discovery of what happens when we use language (properly and improperly) and what happens when disparate media use language on us. Over the course of the semester, expect to critically engage with media you know and love to find the message behind the message – what values are being transmitted, what’s at stake in those messages, and how messages change across media platforms.

I’m looking forward to getting to know and learn with each of you.

Heather
