Designed to develop skills in descriptive, narrative, argumentative, and expository, and creative writing in Spanish, this course emphasizes the process of writing. Students will learn and practice strategies for generating and organizing ideas through pre-writing, composing, writing, revision, and editing. Writing activities help expand and refine grammatically correct expression, vocabulary, and rhetorical techniques. Students will have the opportunity to explore the art of translation and many modalities of personal expression, which may include original poetry, fiction, and non-fiction in the form of short stories, blog entries, travel narratives, memoirs, and autobiographical essays. Faculty may choose to teach the course with a central theme, such as identity and self-discovery, migration and immigration, and other areas of interest, and may include community service-learning. May be taken at the same time as SPA 204 with permission from department chair.
