STC3WIA
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject studies professional and creative writers in action through engaging students as participants in a writers festival (initially the annual Bendigo Writers Festival). There will be three phases within this subject: the pre-event phase (12 hours over 3 days) - where the students are introduced to key concepts, topics and skills, and are supported in devising their project and planning to engage with the writers festival; the event (15 hours over 3 days) - providing students with an immersion experience where they attend the festival with a specific program of activities in mind in order to support their project; the post-event response (12 hours over 3 days) - where the student completes their project using the information and experience gained through the event. A selection of books by the festival's invited writers will be used as the example texts in the pre-event phase of the subject.
