Download a copy of the previous year's guide to first-year writing (aka the "green book"). It contains sample student essays as well as material for students that explains course policy, the portfolio group structure, and other things related to WRT 150.

New versions are available from the bookstore for less than $10, so there's no reason to read it here unless you are off campus or just needing a preview. Note: If you are taking WRT 150, it is important that you purchase the latest version and have it for class.
