Community-Engaged Writing serves as an introductory overview to writing for academic and non-academic communities in a stance of self-reflection, humility, and respectful listening. Through collaboration with the Edward Ginsberg Center, the class will collaborate with a community partner and practice applied, community-engaged writing.
The community partner for this section of English 126 is Groundcover News, Ann Arbor’s street newspaper, which has a mission of “Creating opportunity and a voice for low-income people while taking action to end homelessness and poverty.” Many of the writing and reading assignments for this section of English 126 will focus on the same concerns as Groundcover News and the people who create it, sell it, and support it.
