Assignment #1

Weighting: 20%鈥�

Length: 500 Words (or equivalent).鈥�

Due Date: Friday, 31^st January 2020 11:59pm.鈥�

This is a creative response to the course readings and to our discussions during the lectures and seminars. Students must build on one or more of the seminar exercises, expanding and altering the writing they began in class. The creative scope of potential response is broad and open, and students are encouraged to experiment widely. It is anticipated that students will work in poetry or prose, either fiction or creative non-fiction, however, submissions of equivalent creative output in alternative forms may also be considered so long as the instructor is consulted beforehand (ie. script, comics/graphic storytelling). The assignment need not be a completely self-contained story or narrative, rather, it is an exercise in putting our critical examination of writing thus far into practice.

Assignment #2

Weighting: 25%鈥�

Length: 500 Words (or equivalent).鈥�

Due Date: Monday, 10 February 11:59辫尘.鈥�

This is the second graded creative response to the course readings and to our discussions during the lectures and seminars. The creative scope of potential response remains broad and open, and students are again encouraged to experiment widely, this time adding what they have learned from further study and from feedback on their first assignment to their practice. It is anticipated that students will work in poetry or prose, either fiction or creative non- fiction, however, submissions of equivalent creative output in alternative forms may also be considered so long as the instructor is consulted beforehand (ie. script, comics/graphic storytelling). The assignment need not be a completely self-contained story or narrative, rather, it is an exercise in putting our critical examination of writing thus far into practice. As such, it is acceptable for students to build on writing exercises presented in class (if they choose), however, as experimentation is a crucial element of this exercise, it is not acceptable for students to expand on their work for Assignment #1.

Assignment #3

Weighting: 45%鈥�

Length: 2500 Words (or equivalent).鈥�

Due Date: Friday, 26 October, 11:59辫尘.鈥�

This final graded assignment will include a 2000-word (or equivalent) piece of creative writing, as well as a 500-word exegetical component. The creative piece should be self-contained, i.e. a short story, creative nonfiction/personal essay or a suite of poems,and can be an expansion of one of the first two assignments (though must not include both). It is anticipated that students will work in poetry or prose, either fiction or creative non-fiction, however, submissions of equivalent creative output in alternative forms may also be considered so long as the instructor is consulted beforehand (ie. script, comics/graphic storytelling). The exegetical component is a critical reflection of how elements from the course readings, lectures and seminars have led to the development of the creative piece. Please note that this is not a defence of the work, but rather an opportunity to display how aspects of the course have translated into creative practice. The writing style of the exegetical component is expected to be academic in nature, and include MLA citations along with a works cited list, however, the style need not be overly formal. Students are encouraged to think about how course readings compare, and how these might or might not have influenced their own writing, explicitly or obliquely.

Seminar Participation

奥别颈驳丑迟颈苍驳:鈥�10%

Length: Varied.鈥�

Due Date: Ongoing.鈥�

Participation in seminars is a vital component of the course and of students’ growth as critics and writers. Seminars will involve both writing exercises and small group workshops, in which students will read their own work aloud and provide constructive feedback for their peers. At the end of each seminar, students will upload their writing exercises and notes taken during workshops to MyUni for evaluation. 1% will be awarded for each seminar in which students have participated, for a maximum total of 10% of their overall grade.
