Prerequisite:
PWR 1. Building on a series of written assignments and oral presentations that culminate in a major research project, we'll explore the conventions and strategies that define the genre of American musical theater, analyzing how contemporary musicals mirror, revise, and even subvert these traditional rules. Watching musicals on film, reading reviews by theater critics, and attending a local production, we'll examine a range of cultural arguments made by American musicals. For more information about

PWR 6LSP: PWR 6 Leland Scholars Program: Exploring Research, Writing and Argument at Stanford
Our work together in this course is focused on providing an introduction to critical reading, rhetorical thinking, academic writing, college-level research, and crafting and presenting well-reasoned arguments. Through class discussions, readings, writing assignments, and a collaborative research project, we will consider: What does it mean to write effectively? How can we best persuade others in the different situations that we encounter each day? How can we argue convincingly about ideas that truly matter to us, whether in the classroom, with friends, or in broader social contexts?
