Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LosThree-hour workshops, delivered by an experienced feature writer will offer you intensive instruction and insights and also enable you to learn by doing. There will be a strong emphasis on independent study and you will be encouraged to develop your own feature ideas and produce a portfolio of publishable work (LO 3-4). You will also be given the opportunity to analyse the context in which features are produced and to comment on the quality of your own work in a reflection log. In this reflection log will pinpoint possible target publications for your work and outline how you would pitch your work to an employer (LO 1-2 and 5). Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsFeatures account for an increasing proportion of print media content, so acquiring skills in this sphere boosts employability. Feature writing is also often a freelance activity so can form part of a portfolio career. Students will reflect on target publications and on ways to pitch freelance work. PDP will be enhanced through active self-evaluation and critical reflection.
