Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module will be taught in a two-hour interactive lecture and a one-hour tutorial. The lectures will introduce key concepts, critical approaches, and textual interpretations, through a combination of presentation and interactivity (LO1, 3, 4). The tutorials will provide you with further opportunities for group and individual discussion and close reading, and to work on skills closely linked to your assignments, including textual analysis and oral presentation. (LO 2, 3, 5). Some weeks of classes will include screenings so that you have the opportunity to watch and discuss your viewing of the screen texts.A core aim of this module is to improve your analytical skills and confidence in research and writing. Scholarship skills will be developed through participation in analytical class activities, individual critical exploration of module set texts, and research tasks for assignments. The learning activities and assessments are designed to be accessible and allow you to work according to their particular learning needs, strengths and preferences, including the option of working with visual or creative material as well as academic writing and research. The module Moodle site will provide you with discussion opportunities, readings, and class materials in advance, to facilitate a more level playing field.

A structured formative assessment takes the form of a short presentation in small groups on a topic related to the final essay. This unmarked presentation is intended to give you a chance to become more comfortable with speaking about your ideas and to receive helpful feedback ahead of preparing your final essay.

You will submit two assignments. The first is an essay or a creative fragment plus a short essay, submitted in Week 5, giving you an early opportunity to explore the emergence of the fantasy genre (LO1, 2). The second essay is submitted in Week 14 and is your chance to write a longer and more in-depth interpretation of set texts from the module (LO2,3,4,5)
