Navigating Novels

The micro-credential provides interactive instruction and collaborative opportunities to explore historical fiction in English education.

Through a series of lectures, workshops and activities, participants will track the genre of historical fiction through time, considering traditional engagements with the genre, as well as exploring examples that blend aspects of other genres.

The micro-credential will also pose some questions about the relationship between history, narrative shapes and storytelling methods, as well as social, cultural and political uses of historical fiction.

This content will be complemented by considerations of historical fiction in the classroom, as well detailed discussions about creative practice that teachers might find useful for designing programs and lessons.

The micro-credential will be mapped against AITSL standards and is supported by the research findings of The Big Picture Project, a joint UWA English and Literary Studies and English Teachers' Association of WA initiative.

Upon successful completion of this micro-credential, you'll receive:

• Two PD Points
• A Certificate of Achievement
• A UWA Plus Professional Development Transcript, listing all successfully completed micro-credentials
