Writing Course Term 4: Play Writing
Our creative writing continues this term as students develop and write their own play. We’ll learn how to create an interesting plot, an intriguing cast of characters and how to use stage directions and theatrical settings to enhance the audience’s experience. Students will be able to start from scratch, or follow a rough outline to help them get going. Whatever they choose, the tutor will be there to support them and give feedback on their work.
Tutorials will focus mainly on students writing and receiving feedback on their work to help them make good progress and feel confident and supported.
- Tutorials – The tutorials are a blend of direct teaching, group discussion of extracts and model writing, and writing practice with live feedback from the tutor
- Writing requirements – Students need to write during the lessons using online worksheets. Students write at their own pace and receive guidance and encouragement along the way.
- Feedback and support – Students will receive live feedback on written work during tutorials using Google Classrooms. It is useful to have a Google account that they can use for this purpose
- Homework – Optional homework opportunities provided.
