ASSIGNMENT
When we think of “creative nonfiction” we often think of facts and information, but creative nonfiction can take other forms.
Craft a piece that feels new and different, but that engages directly with the CNF strategies and ideas we’ve been talking about together in class.
What choices will you make at the sentence and phrase level to create a dynamic experience for your readers? What overall form or structure will your piece take? Will your essay become a series of tweets? A kind of recipe? An annotated play list? A blog post? A conversation? A letter? Something else? How will that form enhance the meaning of your subject? Be creative and innovative with this.
Follow your own curiosity and thoughts. Think about creating a moving experience for your reader. Create an essay that moves the way our thoughts and emotions move. Explore a theme. Comment on something in society that bugs you. Write to demand that we think or feel differently. Have fun here. Do not simply tell us something. Show us something. Give us something that makes us think and feel.
