3. to further increase the student's ability to synthesise the techniques taught in Levels 4 and 5;
4. to further develop the ability to write to deadlines, maintaining a sense of focus in perfecting a portfolio;
5. to develop further the students' level and quality of contribution.
Learning Outcomes
1.
write and redraft an original portfolio of creative prose writing, applying techniques from prior learning and reading, and outcomes of the workshops to the redrafting process.
2.
write a commentary that demonstrates a close analysis of the writing and the workshop process, and a capacity for self-reflection in terms of background reading and technique.
3.
show a sophisticated and sustained ability to contribute to all activities.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students will be encouraged to work autonomously. They will be expected to contribute effectively to classes. The techniques of the teaching, reading and writing studied at Levels 4 and 5 will be synthesised into the writing of a portfolio that is the best possible showcase for the student's writing, and this will be accompanied by a reflection that examines their creative processes.
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.

Additional Information:This module is designed to encourage the student to bring to fruition the technical, cognitive and narrative skills they have acquired to produce a writing portfolio and reflection, using their own strengths and those of the community of writers of which they 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, a student's individual contribution will be reflected in the commentary. The portfolio may consist of fiction or literary non-fiction.
