This section of ENGLISH 124 is designed to provide you with a rigorous introduction to writing graceful, clear, engaging essays. I intend for it particularly to help you develop your ability to write in ways that will be useful in subsequent classes at the University, and beyond. Although this course will focus exclusively on developing your ability to write about the literature you have read, the skills you will study in this course are fundamental to all good writing. We will read a wide range of poems, essays, and works of fiction that have to do with the meanings embedded in the texts and practices of sports. Good academic writing is one of the best ways humans have developed for paying attention and for showing others how to pay attention; it is a way for coming to terms with the complexities of our lives, of our world. We will be writing and rewriting almost daily, and will use those occasions to begin to explore the contours of cultural significance in various sports throughout the world.
