Writing Toward Balance: Exploring Big Questions of Our Time

Our second course in the Warren Writing sequence follows a theme-based approach inspired by the college motto, “Toward a life in balance.”

Using the theme as a starting point, students explore big, interdisciplinary problems and open-ended questions that are meaningful to them and that spark their curiosity. Through writing, students engage in a process of questioning, research and discovery, revealing that writing itself can be a powerful way of learning. They work individually and in groups, supporting and challenging one another to research and communicate new ideas and deepen their perspectives. Students analyze how their discoveries affect people and communities, while reflecting on their changing views as they write. In their final capstone project, students communicate their research insights to real world audiences by applying writing strategies and concepts they have learned in both courses.
