• This should be a written text, in any of the genres or formats we’ve discussed during the semester (travel narrative / filmscript / radio script / fiction).


• You may include visual or even audiovisual material with the assignment if you wish, but the assessment will concentrate on the vividness and focus of your writing.


• The subject matter should be a journey, or description of a locality of some sort.


• The place or places should be real and not fictional (though certain parts of your narrative may be fictionalised, if you wish).


• You may travel in the footsteps of another author, or use your own firsthand material.


• If you wish to use notes or diaries from a past trip, be prepared to revise and supplement them considerably in order to create a compelling narrative.
