How to teach students to respond creatively to texts for VCE English
October 24, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
$100This workshop, designed for teachers of both Unit 1 and Unit 3 English, will share resources and strategies for the creative text response area of VCE English. The workshop will explore how to set effective tasks and how to structure creative response units and integrate creative response units with analytic text response units. Importantly, it will share many lesson ideas for helping students understand creative elements of a text – voice, characterisation, narrative structure, imagery – and practice incorporating these into their own creative writing. The workshop will demonstrate how we can teach novels, short stories, play and films for creative responses. It it timed so the strategies and resources shared can be used as part of Year 11 or 12 introductory programs.
