3/13/2019 0 Comments Day 13Creative NonfictionToday we begin our creative nonfiction unit! I am really excited about this one.
We begin with a 10 minute freewrite. The prompt: Pick an object that is ugly, and create a character who finds it very beautiful. Have the character describe the object in a way that convinces the reader of its beauty. Now write a second version where you convince the reader (through describing the object alone) that the character is mentally unstable. We tackled the first part of this prompt today, and will tackle the second part next class. Next, we defined "nonfiction" and "creative nonfiction" Finally, we will listen to this episode of "This American Life" called "Tough Room" Students will spend the remainder of this unit producing an episode of "This New Milford Life"
