Extemporaneous writing based on knowledge and assumptions of a given issue. Short writes are a strange hybrid somewhere between a freewrite and a timed essay. In general, the main purpose of the shortwrite is to assist the writer. Most of the time, short writes are offered in a series: this type of writer's "scaffolding" assists the writer in finding topics for discussion and topics for longer papers.
Students will complete 3-5 shortwrites (some in-class, some as homework assignments). Due dates TBA as asignments are announced in class, explained in class, then documented here.
