Description Experimental Writing and Electronic Publication is a practical and experiential exploration of modernist writing practices.Students will be introduced to a range of innovative writing techniques designed to stimulate creative thinking and assist in the development of a regular writing practice. Areas of study include: exploration of pre-writing processes; experimental writing genres; power of language; evaluative process; and the development of individual and collaborative techniques for planning and executing writing projects. A primary component of this subject includes working on writing exercises both at home and in class. These exercises will be used to develop the end-of-unit major project.
