Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Teaching will comprise sets of mini-lectures, which will total 30 minutes each week. This material will be pre-recorded and made available on-demand via the VLE. There will also be twelve 90-minute live taught sessions, including editorial masterclasses, critical self-reflection tasks and formative feedback on in-class exercises and homework (LOs 1-5). In most weeks, classes will focus on a specific narrative technique, introduced in the pre-recorded lecture material and supported by examples, analytical reading and discussion (LOs 1 & 3). This is the technique you’ll use in the next weekly homework challenge for critical self-reflection and masterclass feedback in the following week’s session (LOs 2, 4 and 5). When it’s your turn for masterclass feedback, your story will be distributed to the group and you’ll be invited to read aloud, before discussing your critical self-reflection with the tutor(s). Masterclass feedback is an editorial, problem-solving dialogue, designed to enable you to develop your work-in-progress to publication standard. The success of this method is evident in the number of student homework assignments which have gone on to achieve publication and prizes.
|
The formative assessment will take the form of a 1500-word portfolio (L0s 1-5) comprising a short story and a critical self reflection (CSR), due in Week 8 of the trimester. Formative in-class feedback will also be offered on a range of activities during the trimester, including masterclass feedback on short stories, feedback in-class on short activities, or via the VLE on specific development tasks as you hone your abilities to deploy various narrative positions in your writing.
|
The summative assessment will take the form of a 4000-word portfolio (L0s 1-5) comprising a short story and a Critical Self Reflection (CSR), due in Week 12 of the trimester.
