Notes: Section theme: Multicultural Identities. Offered only to participants in the Summer College for High School Students. The main goal of this class will be to practice the reading, writing, and research skills that will prepare students to be successful in any university level class. Throughout the class, students will practice close readings of a variety of texts--ranging from ethnic narratives and films to the kinds of research essays they will encounter in college classes. They will also learn how to revise their short essays for more clarity, coherence, and flow as well as how to construct a longer research essay. In the past, students have written essays on a wide variety of topics such as Latino, African American, and transnational identities, Asian parenting, inter-racial dating, stereotypes in Hollywood films, and minorities in technology and science.nnnThere will be many in-class activities including oral reports, and students will have a chance to revise their essays after peer editing sessions. Towards the end of the class, students will also learn how to put together and deliver a PowerPoint presentation based on their research, the same way professionals do. This will also be an opportunity for students to learn from each other's research and to celebrate everybody¿s creativity and work. Attendance will be required during the first two class sessions to keep a place in the class. There will be no final exam.

Notes: Section theme: The Rhetoric of Consumer Culture. Offered only to participants in the Summer College for High School Students. In this course you¿ll learn how to sharpen your analytical skills, conduct scholarly research, and write persuasive academic prose. You¿ll move far beyond the five-paragraph essay to explore the many rhetorical possibilities available to college writers. We¿ll not only examine conventions of academic writing but will also explore how scholars across the disciplines challenge the stereotype that academic writing must be dull and stuffy. In fact, good academic writing engages readers and communicates complex ideas clearly. This course will help you not only persuade your audience but also captivate and perhaps even entertain readers. As Professor Helen Sword notes in her book Stylish Academic Writing, ¿academic writing is a process of making intelligent choices, not of following rigid rules.¿ In this course you¿ll learn to make your own intelligent choices as you write a rhetorical analysis of a local commercial space, as you select and research a topic related to consumer culture, and as you write a persuasive essay on that topic.
