Tutor: Yvonne Webb
This is not a family tree class nor a class of quick tips of how to write a story. Most of those enrolling have wanted to write, have lots of ideas but need structure and assistance in what and how to write. The class is held in a round table format with everyone participating. Each week students read out what they have written in the week. Most require time in addition to class time to produce results. So if you have limited time during the week then perhaps this is not the right time for this class.
Venue: 232 Adelaide St
Monday 10.00am - 11.00am. Classes start 2 February, finish 6 April.
Cost: $45 (prepaid), 9 weeks
Current Enrolments: 7 (capacity 8)
The Biography can take one of several forms. Some complete publishable books, others prefer a less structured format just for their family. Some are very funny, others are reports of more solemn times. Some come for a few terms, then have a rest and then again return. All welcome.
The book used is The Scholar Explorer by Y Webb It is available from the author directly at $35 or from the publisher Boolarong Press.
