TEXT AND MATERIALS - Terri Brooks, Words' Worth The Elements of Style - Specific newspapers and magazines assigned in class - Course materials accessible at http://core.ecu.edu/engl/whisnantL/5860 RESPONSIBILITIES The work in this class is not particularly hard, but there is a great deal of it. Stay organized and you should be fine. Come to class. You get one unexcused absence. After that, your final grade drops one letter grade for each unexcused absence (no kidding). An unexcused absence counts as a zero on a reading quiz, and there are no makeup quizzes. You MUST not miss workshop deadlines. Even if you're deathly ill, you must email your story to me by 5 PM on the evening it is due. There are no exceptions whatsoever to this policy. Class starts promptly at 6:30, often with a reading quiz. We cannot stop class and wait for latecomers to finish the quiz. Be here on time. Please do not eat in this classroom (drinks, quietly sipped, are fine).

Creative Nonfiction by Roberta L. Sims Flat Tires Picking Sides Close Enough Dog Walking ... Story With No End Flat Tires It's one of those evenings. I have exactly 15 minutes in which to drive to the soccer field, pick up son Zac from practice, drop him at home (where I’ve left a bowl of chili warming on the stove), and drive daughter Casey to school for a meeting to sign up for clarinet lessons. If the traffic lights are with us, I can make this a perfectly synchronized evening. What I haven’t counted on is this: running over something hard (a bottle?) on the road that thunks the underside of the car in a sickening way. Five minutes later, the car tugs radically to the left. I pull off the road into the back entrance of WalMart and sure enough, the front left tire is flatter than Kansas. Life, of course, is full of choices. Here’s one for me now: use the cell phone for its original purpose (road emergency) and wait a minimum of 30 minutes for the tow truck, or change the tire myself. The choice is easy: Casey has gone deadly pale at the prospect of being late, or possibly missing, the first night of her musical future. Besides, I’ve changed tires before.

English 305 Creative Non Fiction Writing I nstructor: Sheryl St. Germain Term: Spring 2004 Office Hours: MW 9:00-11:00 (Ross) Phone: 4-8211 (Ross) 4-7104( Beardshear) Homepage Syllabus Required Texts Workshop Guidelines ... Response Paper Guidelines COURSE DESCRIPTION AND GOALS This is a creative nonfiction writing class in which we will focus on the memoir and the personal essay. Creative nonfiction is a relatively recent term that refers to a kind of essay writing that is sometimes called the literary essay, the lyric essay or the personal essay. It can include literary journalism, travel writing, nature writing and memoir. What distinguishes this kind of writing from traditional or academic writing is that there is an inner, or subjective point of view that informs the writing, and it is, in fact, this inner point of view that is the great strength of this kind of writing. Creative nonfiction differs from other forms of creative writing, such as poetry or fiction, in that it uses elements of both poetry and fiction to create what essentially feels like a new genre that often blurs the distinction between poetry and prose. The kind of writing we'll be doing is one of the few kinds of writing accountable to imagination, memory, and fact. The class will utilize lecture, discussion and workshop formats, but is primarily a class where student participation, via discussion and workshop, is extremely important.

He believes that young children can be successful with nonfiction writing, that it has value even when it is not directly connected to school, district, or state assessments, and that time spent on an in-depth study of nonfiction forms pays off in the long run. Is That a Fact? Teaching Nonfiction Writing K-3 is a resource that respects young students and their teachers. Kim Douillard is a co-director for the San Diego Area Writing Project. She teaches a multi-age class of first-, second-, and third-graders at Cardiff Elementary School in San Diego. Is That a Fact?
