This task sequence involves creative writing and focuses on literacy skills. The task sequence, based on creating ‘ Mash-Up Literature’ is designed for upper level language learners and includes some analysis of writing genres.
It is designed principally for philology courses, creative writing courses and upper level language courses but may be adapted to other disciplines.
Students are introduced to classic texts (required reading) while learning to apply discourse analysis and literary analysis. Because the students are allowed to approach the texts with ' irreverence' the students will be more engaged with the ' classic' reading lists than through more traditional teaching approaches.
