Week Two of Creative Nonfiction



As this week's reading assignments indicates, you have an interesting collection
of work to read in Tell It Slant and the Touchstone Anthology of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction, with issues about ethical considerations when you create an imaginative and true piece to memoirs about family and the frictions that make up common experience.

You have, as well, a challenging writing assignment, one
with which your reading assignments will help you--again and as always, reading and writing go hand in hand.
 
This week's video (41 minutes) offers a look at the reading in Tell It Slant with mention here and there about your writing assignment and the readings from our anthology:




 


Enjoy a productive week.
