at Florida State University

The approach to teaching ENC 1101 at Florida State is based on strands–sequences of readings and papers–that give a section of the course thematic unity and increase its pedagogical impact. This portion of the Teachers' Guide presents several model strands and advice on how to adapt them to your individual sections. Developed by experienced writing teachers over many semesters of practice, the strands draw on insights from modern composition theories and make use of the required textbooks.
