FF Writing Week 1




Freewrite:


You’ve signed up for a class on Writing in English. What do you hope to get out of this class?


1.       What goals would you add to this list? (try to think of at least 2)

2.       What questions would you add to this list? (try to think of at least 2)












HW:


1.       Sometime this week, go to a part of Brno you aren’t familiar with, and spend some time
getting lost. (Be safe. Please don’t put yourself in any dangerous situations!) During and/or after
“getting lost,” document your experience in (English) words. This can be in ANY form/genre (a poem,
a story, a FB post, tweets, graffiti), and of any length. Bring your work to class to share next
week.

2.       Read Ch. 1 of Richard Lanham’s book “Revising Prose.” I read this book when I was at
university, and it still influences my thinking about what makes good writing. Come to class next
week prepared to discuss Lanham’s ideas. Do you think they useful/helpful for non-native speakers
of English? Why or why not?

3.       Think about what kind of writing project you’d like to do…
