The short story is a diverse genre that is thought-provoking and thematically rich. This hands-on creative writing unit offers students the opportunity to research and develop a piece of short fiction and reflect on the process. Students will engage in a number of learning activities, including reading and analysing published short stories by diverse authors, writing and revising their own creative work, engaging in peer feedback, and researching and reflecting on their writing process and context. Students are expected to engage in regular writing activities and work collaboratively and respectfully as creative writing practitioners.
