On this one-day training course you will learn how to analyse a piece of writing to pick out the elements which contribute to its effectiveness. Using group work techniques the group will generate responses to stories and poems. You will be encouraged to express your responses to the literature by producing your own piece of creative writing. This will develop your creative writing skills e.g. learning how to write a poem by modelling on a successful example. The tutor will give you support to develop your confidence and abilities in sharing this method with other individuals and groups. On completion of this course you will leave with a selection of pieces of writing for further development and a method to enable you to do this and share this with others.
