CRW 210 - Creative Nonfiction


Creative non-fiction blends the craft techniques found in great literature (dialogue, narration, voice, suspense, and point of view) with the authenticity and ironies found in real life stories and researched points of view. This genre focuses on compelling writing that is always true, but not necessarily objective. Voice and point of view shape and color the writer’s subject. Students in this class will therefore discover and practice techniques for writing about themselves, those around them, what they see (particularly in regard to art), and how they perceive the world around them. They will read and write vigorously, develop skills as collaborative learners, serve as a community of writers for each other, and develop both respect for and practice in non-fiction writing as an art form.
