ENGL2089 is the Honors version of Intermediate Composition.  This course involved different readings and reflections with three main papers to showcase what we learned.  The first section involved analyzing a discourse community and the experience of a person in a particular community.  The essay involved in this section researching a particular community and interviewing a member of it about their particular experience.  The second section explored different genres, what defines a genre, and how genres evolve over time.  The final section was a literacy analysis that delved into our own experience in literacy of a particular skill or in general that made us reflect on the impact of particular events in our lives.

I learned a lot in this class.  This class challenged me to become a better writer by considering the audience that I am writing to and writing in a way that would appeal to them.  I also learned about analyzing and how complex so many things in the world are.  For instance, in the genre analysis, defining what makes a particular genre isn't simple because it involves the who is writing, what they are trying to convey, and the context surrounding the writing. To showcase what I have learned, I am showing my Genre Analysis essay, as not only did I enjoy writing this essay the most, but I also feel that it showcases what I learned about both analyzing and writing.
