Creative Writing 2011 Week One

Cedar Waxwing

Welcome to Creative Writing for Fall 2011

As always at the beginning of the new week, give the week's video a look; after viewing the short video at the end of this entry, watch the greeting from a previous year.

Most of the videos here come from previous years, but I kept the assignments pretty similar--unlike last year, however, you will not have a proctored final.  That said, you will create by the term's conclusion a video of yourself reading and discussing pieces of your work.

I will talk more over the next weeks about this fun exercise that everyone enjoyed last year.




I made a very short video for this year that will appear here--short because technical problems frustrated the first three attempts.






This week's videos address the assignment for this week, the Final Video Project (remember:  we no longer have proctored requirements), and Discussion Threads. I also offer some suggestions about how to begin making your prose all the more emphatic and effective.

Beginning this term, you will also take weekly quizzes, and I will post a video on Thursday.  You will take the short quiz between Thursday and Sunday at midnight.




If you do not know how to create hyperlinks on the Discussion Threads, the preceding link should help you; just click on the image to enlarge the information.

Again, welcome to Creative Writing and make sure to watch both the videos.

If you have questions, e-mail me right away.
