Abstract
In this section of English 151, we will study how our lives intersect with texts and will work to
better understand how we gauge what is “crafted” and what is “real” in our world(s). By
critically reflecting on our own choices as writers, we will consider how we differentiate
between acts of composition and other events, experiences, and artifacts that we value and
use every day. Not only will we ask, “How do we make meaning out of the texts we
encounter?” but also, “How do we recognize those texts and distinguish them from other
endeavors in our lives?” As a writing community, we will examine our own experiences with
literacy, explore how social and cultural events can be read as living texts, and investigate
how the broad array of media and genres we interact with daily complicate our
understanding of composition, life, and the relationship between them. Throughout this
semester, you will be asked to consider and reconsider how you compose reality based on your
unique integration of writing, texts, and life.
