In Spring 2020, the Honors version of First-Year Writing will be delivered through specific sections of ENGL 1010. (ENGL 2011 will no longer be offered after Fall 2019.)

UConn is piloting a completely redesigned first-year writing course, and Honors is joining that pilot. That means that for Spring 2020, you have 3 choices:

• Honors ENGL 1010 pilot sections
• Non-honors ENGL 1010 pilot sections
• Non-honors ENGL 1010/1011, non-pilot sections

The pilot first-year writing curriculum, Writing Across Technology, emphasizes writing across different modes (linguistic, visual, aural, gestural and spatial) and media. This certainly includes traditional academic papers, but there is also explicit recognition that composition in any mode or medium requires a central set of habits and skills. These course moves are collecting material and curating how it is presented; engaging in or with an intellectual conversation; situating ideas and arguments in context; theorizing; and circulating to audiences.

The Honors version of Writing Across Technology will offer an appropriate level of challenge for the types of writing you are expected to do at UConn and beyond. There will also be increased opportunities for connection to your own major(s) and additional emphasis on the role of inquiry and discovery in the humanities. The Honors sections will culminate with a public celebration of student work.

Writing Across Technology sections are topic-based. Honors ENGL 1010 topics for Spring 2020:
