Margaret A. Johnson
Richard J. Daley College

Course

English 101

Description

Develop new vocabulary to express commonly used aphorisms and sayings and the ability to "translate" unfamiliar terms that express common sayings back to the familiar forms.

Transferability

This should be transferable to a wide range of disciplines. It will build vocabulary and provide experience in using the thesaurus and dictionary, as well as develop skills to analyze a short text. Such skills are useful in virtually any field using written or verbal expression, including the social sciences, literature and rhetoric, physical sciences, and other humanities courses.
