CW2102 The Short StoryASSESSMENT: 1 creative piece + 1 essayPOSSIBLE TUTOR(s): Kass Boucher‘… the perfect balance of writing exercises, class discussions and workshops.’Due to its compression, along with its focus on the fleeting and fragmentary, the short story isarguably the modern literary form par excellence. It has attracted writers as different as FranzKafka and Junot Diaz, Alice Munro and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and has proved to be flexibleenough to accommodate every style from the realistic to the gothic, from high-modernism topost-modern, cyber-punk and avant-pop writing. Through a combination of seminar discussionsand writing-workshops this module offers students hands-on experience of this most exciting andexacting of literary forms.‘I liked the range of texts.’‘Discussion points were plentiful and engaging.’‘We did a lot of analysis of the texts and it really helped.’
CW2103 Fiction for ChildrenASSESSMENT: 1 presentation + 1 creative piecePOSSIBLE TUTOR(S): Judy WaiteFictional writing for children isn’t about any of those things. Well it might be, if you decide at the end of themodule that that is the way your ideas are leading you – but that will be after you’ve had the chance tostudy and discuss the very best (or most successful) contemporary fiction for children and young adults.You’ll analyse what makes them work. And how the market currently operates – alongside how it is stillevolving.You’ll learn to understand and meet the needs of a ‘target reader’. What works for a seven year old willprobably be a turn off for a ten year old. You’ll develop skills in adapting your ideas and writing style to meetvery specific criteria.You’ll discuss morality and authorial responsibility. Should literature for fourteen year olds be explicit aboutdrugs? What about eleven year olds?You’ll have the chance to have in-depth contact with a contemporary author – someone for whom the inkhasn’t yet dried on their recently published book. You’ll enter into a dialogue with this author, review thework and present their ideas, and your responses, to the group.There will still be a focus on writing skills and technique. Good writing is goodwriting – regardless of whether it’s the latest ‘Horrid Henry’ or this year’sBooker Prize. All the teaching will be underpinned by maintaining awareness ofsetting/dialogue/show not tell/plot/structure.And weaving through this will be your own developing creativity. You’ll begiven chances to explore where your ideas come from, how to access originalthinking, encouraged to take risks and to think ‘ahead of the game’.And after all this, it’s POSSIBLE that your bunnies will be anything but fluffy.Your smugglers and pirates will have morphed into bug eyed space invaders. And you’ll have no interest atall in re-writing what’s already been done.
