Disgrifiad cryno

This MA module will fulfil the creative practice elements of the MA scheme by offering students writing practice, technical advice and development, and workshopping on a regular basis. It is intended as the partner module to Writing as Practitioner 2, which features a long writing project (dissertation). The course offers a student-centred experience catering for the discipline-specific needs and expectations of PGT creative practitioners. Students will be guided in the reading and writing skills and knowledge required to underpin their substantial final project (Writer as Practitioner 2). The module will be essential in developing students’ creative practice, and will help them develop a portfolio of writing of a publishable-standard during the course of their MA degree.

Cynnwys

Students will meet with their group and workshop leader every two weeks to develop ideas, discuss readings, and workshop draft material. During these sessions, students will be expected to discuss and analyze readings as well as present and discuss workshop material they have written. Formative feedback on work and ideas will be provided through these sessions on an ongoing basis. Interleaved between these fortnightly sessions the students will be invited to meet in their workshop groups for student-led peer workshop sessions. Specific tasks will be set by the tutor and each student will have at least one opportunity to act as workshop leader for these sessions.
