Workshop Preparation:A step-bv-step guide
Aims of the workshop process:To provide a supportive environment where you can receive feedback,notes,comments and different perspectives on your work,in order to make the work better and to help you see your work in fresh ways.To provide opportunities you to hone your analytic skills and to develop your craft by reading and analysing the work of your peers.
1.Your workshop

b.Be present in class for your workshop(Make sure you have put your name down for a workshop slot(See Workshop Schedules link on Moodle)
2.Workshopping for your peers

b. After class,type up your feedback for each student who has workshopped that day in class and post it(50-200 words for each workshop draft)on Moodle,under each student's blog.
c. Aim:
1. Feed Forward:To help the writer make the work stronger in the next draft.You could also post a question to help the writer see their work in a new way.
2. Career Development Learning. To help you develop skills in script. assessment by demonstrating that you understand how to critically analyse a work and offer concise feedback on the formal elements of the work. Formal elements:the elements that form. the work/elements that make up the form of the work such as character design and development,narrative/story design,tension,the use of subtext, theme,and other elements we have discussed in the lectures and tutorials.
Expectations: Students are expected to provide Moodle feedback to all students who have uploaded their drafts for workshopping in class.
· If a student in your tutorial does not upload a draft then there is no need to provide feedback.
· If a student in your tutorial uploads a draft too late for their workshop then no need to provide feedback,unless your tutor has made other arrangements with your class.
· If your class has not workshopped a draft then no need to provide feedback unless your tutor has made other arrangements with your class.
● Provide feedback only to students in your tutorial.
· Those who only offer feedback to some students willose marks,hence the different wording in the rubric.i.e.in the rubric under "Pass"you will see that I have said "The provision of clearly written (for the most part),neatly formatted feedback on most screenplay drafts submitted for workshopping."
· For all other grades (Credit,Distinction,High Distinction),you willsee that I have said feedback is to be offered"on every single screenplay draft submitted for workshopping."
