Week3 6/26 - 6/30/2023 G5-G7, AM:Creative Nonfiction; PM:Portrait Drawing
AM: Creative nonfiction
Creative nonfiction is a type of writing that combines elements of literature and nonfiction writing, such as memoirs, personal essays, literary journalism, and other literary forms. Creative nonfiction writers use narrative techniques and literary devices to explore real-life experiences and to tell true stories in an engaging and meaningful way. Unlike traditional journalism, creative nonfiction is often characterized by its subjective approach, creating a connection between the writer and the reader. It is also rooted in research, observation, and imagination, allowing for a unique blend of fact and fiction.
Students should learn
How to use narrative form, vivid detail, and other techniques to craft compelling nonfiction stories. They should also learn how to research subjects deeply, use interviews, and other sources to gain a broader understanding of their topics. Finally, they should develop skills in synthesis and analysis that help them make meaning out of the information they collect.
