ELL-111 Stories and Sketches of Chinatown

What makes a community unique and dynamic? Is it people, architecture, atmosphere, or other factors? In this integrated skills course we will study the Chinatown community especially Asian Americans and Chinese Immigrants and the places where they work and reside. Students will read, write, speak, and learn about symbols commonly found in the community.  Students will research symbols and complete remote field study of community-based arts projects. Using placement, students who successfully complete the course earn the equivalent of ELL-101, ELL-102, or ELL-103.  This course meets the General Education requirement for Creative Work.
Prerequisites Placement into ELL-101  or ELL-102  or ELL-103 .
