Writing Matters: A Guide to English 101 is an annual print publication of the
Composition Program at UNCG. Writing Matters is written to and for students
of first year composition to introduce them to the course at UNCG and strategies
instructors of this course use to help students learn more about writing and
become better writers. Writing Matters also includes student writing. Below

and responding to student writing play in your own curriculum.
