We are thrilled to announce the winners of English 100’s Student Writing Awards for 2017-2018. These compositions are student submitted and evaluated by a team of experienced English 100 instructors and administrators. We award compositions in four categories: Narrative, Informative, Critical, and Multimodal.
The winning essays in the Narrative, Informative, and Critical categories are published in the English 100 Course Readings Website. The multimodal winner is published here and on the English 100 channel on Kaltura Mediaspace. We encourage students and instructors to use these as examples for discussion in your classes, and we invite submissions every semester through our website.
