Prose Poetics

What it covers

This unit explores prose poetics. Students develop an understanding of the relationship between individual elements of form, convention and meaning, as they contribute to an overall effect. This unit fosters an appreciation of traditional and experimental narrative forms, through close content analysis, textual analysis and discourse analysis. Critical analysis includes First Nations perspectives. A range of contemporary short stories and articles are analysed in order to develop a deeper understanding of prose systems and schemas. Students present creative and critical work using industry standard media creation applications.
