Kick off the summer by exploring fun ways to write about your family, yourself, flowers, birds, streams, clouds: the stuff of creative nonfiction. We’ll look at samples of today’s creative nonfiction and discuss technique.

• How do you write about movies, television, comics, and cartoons?
• How do you inject autobiographical anecdotes?
• How do you write about your family and your life without offending Mom?
• How do you write about heavily trademarked and copyrighted properties?

Students will write and share their own creative nonfiction with the rest of the class.
