3/1: Welcome to ENA101!

Class

We get better at writing the same way we get better at anything else: by doing it.  

You will practice writing by engaging with different types of writing, after which you will reflect on your experience so you can understand what you have learned and apply it to the next experience of writing. This is how you can move from a familiar type of writing to an unfamiliar type of writing--by understanding the similarities and identifying the differences and adjusting accordingly. 

Eventually, your writing experiences accrue and you will be ready to tackle any writing task, no matter how unfamiliar. 

          --adapted from John Warner, The Writer's Practice
