Do you enjoy reading and discussing books with others?
In this course you will get to know many of the best and most influential contemporary writers and different genres. The course does not have a set reading-list but will be put together according to the group’s interests and prior knowledge. We will read a book together and samples from very different contemporary authors, watch a few film clips of recent novels and discuss what makes these novels must-reads.
We will have a sort of book club discussing the books we choose together.
After this course students can…
• discuss character development and story development in a book
• decide what type of genre a book belongs to
• identify a book’s principal theme or message
• analyse a book in creative ways
