English 1101: English Composition I
English 1101 teaches students communication skills that will prepare them to succeed academically at Georgia Tech and professionally in the work place. This course provides opportunities for you to become a more effective communicator as you refine your thinking, writing, speaking, designing, collaborating, and reflecting. As part of the WOVEN (written, oral, visual, electronic, and nonverbal communication) curriculum, ENGL 1101 emphasizes developing your strategic processes in written communication, including issues of rhetoric, argumentation, critical thinking, process, and writing genres.
Themes from previous sections of English 1101 include "Video Game Rhetoric," "Seeing Green: Rhetoric, Environment, and Plants," "Fighting in the Square: Polarized Digital Rhetorics," "Toy Stories," "Monsters and Machines: Technology and Terror in Literature and Film," and "Life's a Game."
