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.

Programme
This course explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and writing in educational contexts, providing both theoretical foundations and practical skills. Students will critically analyze the role of AI as a writing support tool, understand the workings of assistive writing systems, and develop skills in the informed use of these technologies for educational purposes.Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand the fundamentals of AI literacy and its relevance in educational contexts

FORMATIVE EVALUATION: Structured tests of completion or multiple-choice will be administered during class. These tests will have no impact on the exam, but will serve to modulate students' learning activity and provide them with indications of the adequacy of the preparation achieved. Lab activities will also be punctuated by intermediate tests that students will self-administer, receiving individualized correction in real time for any errors made. FINAL EVALUATION: Regarding the final evaluation, the exam will include a written test that everyone will have to take. The duration of the exam is 60 minutes and consists of two open-ended questions. The criteria adopted for grading will follow an assignment according to a normative and criterial basis.
