Università Roma Tre

Cultivating writing, the taste for writing, going beyond the more formal aspects of language (grammatical, syntactic, etc.) - which, although useful, do not exhaust the experience of writing as a profoundly reflective and formative act - is an important goal to pursue for anyone professionally involved in the design and implementation of educational pathways (both in the school and social spheres). The idea that writing, and more specifically storytelling, develops reflective, communicative, creative and critical thinking skills has been consolidated in many quarters. In this course we therefore intend to propose a learning pathway geared towards the achievement of the following learning objectives:

· Acquiring the fundamental vocabulary of narratology

· Understand strategies for improving text comprehension

· Analyze narrative theatrical and cinematographic texts, also using specific software

· Being able to synthesise texts, especially narrative texts, but not only

· Being able to interpret texts of a narrative nature; being able to interpret the output data of textual analysis software

· Being able to create narrative texts, also using specific software

· Being able to use writing and storytelling as a method of intervention in different educational contexts

· Being able to use writing and storytelling to explore the educational needs of different target groups.
