Writing Portfolio - ENGL390

Writing Portfolio is structured around three linked modules that model an industry-relevant writing experience, beginning with a ‘brief’ or writing stimulus through to final submission of a creative work/s to the unit’s e-journal. Reflecting the unit’s role as the Capstone unit for the Writing major, students will have completed or be undertaking other 300 level Writing units. In the Writing module students demonstrate a high level of independence and build on their prior writing skills. Students nominate to focus on the particular genre of writing chosen for their Writing major, either non-fiction, short story, poetry, or script writing, workshopping a creative work in their genre group. Over the course of the semester, one major work is written and submitted to the e-journal. In the Pathways to Publication/Production module the focus is on graduate opportunities. Lecturers from the departments of English, Cultural Studies and Media discuss their particular industry and professional experiences. These modules prepare students for the final Writing for Publication/Production module during which students revise, edit and proof their work for publication in the unit’s e-journal.
