Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students will be encouraged to work autonomously, and to contribute effectively to classes. The techniques of the teaching, reading and writing studied at Levels 4 and 5 will be synthesised into writing a portfolio that should be the best possible showcase for the student's writing, accompanied by a reflection that examines their creative processes. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their use of social media (blogging, Twitter, Facebook) to raise their profile as a writer
Module Overview:
This module is designed to encourage you to use the technical, cognitive and narrative skills you have acquired to produce a writing portfolio and reflection, using your own strengths and those of the community of writers of which you are a part. As the workshops are based each week on prepared readings of peer students' draft work, suggestions for wider reading and giving thoughtful and detailed critiques mean that your individual contribution is of great importance. The portfolio may consist of fiction or literary non-fiction.
