EDMST6115 The Craft of Writing
This unit focuses on building applied practice to enable the `teaching of writers, not writing¿. Students will learn to read like a writer, with the opportunity to delve deeply into author¿s craft, analyse and un-pack linguistic features and devices, and balance authorial and secretarial aspects of writing. Through investigation of current research, students will develop knowledge of writing development and evidence-based writing instruction practices, and have opportunity to apply this knowledge to pedagogical practice. In completing this unit students will gain understanding of genre, hybrid texts, social processes and products and how to apply this knowledge in the classroom. They will also learn to use mentor texts in the genre teaching and learning cycle as a pedagogical framework to support students in developing effective writing skills.
