922-117 LaTrobe-Creative Writing & Journalism

922-115 LaTrobe-Formal Standard Greek or an approved equivalent.

In this subject students analyse, discuss and experiment with various types of Greek creative writing and journalism. Both the general principles and specifically Greek conventions of genre and style are identified, and students are encouraged to think critically about their own and other authors' writing in Greek by drafting, rewriting, editing and transposing the texts. Students' mastery of Modern Greek grammar, vocabulary and usage will be developed in the process. Linguistic skills will also be extended through projects developed and reported on in class, and involving interaction with the local Greek community.
