Activity
Presentation of Lesson:

Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1: Teacher initiates a discussion about the
guidelines in writing CNF. The activity is expected to encourage students to share their ideas during the
discussion.
 Guidelines for Writing Creative Nonfiction
1. Research the topic. Both primary (interview, personal experience, or participant observation)
and secondary research (books, magazines, newspaper, Web)
2. Never invent or change facts.  An invented story is fiction.
3. Provide accurate information. Write honestly and truthfully. Information should be
verifiable.
4. Provide concrete evidence. Use facts, examples, and quotations.
5. Use humor to make an important point.
6. Show the reader what happened, don’t tell them what happened. To do this, dramatize
the story.
7. Narrate the story. A story has an inciting incident, goal, conflict, challenges, obstacles,
climax, and resolution.
8. Write about the interesting and extraordinary. Write about personal experiences,
interesting people,  extraordinary events, or provide a unique perspective on everyday life.
9. Organize the information. Two common techniques are chronological or logical order.
10.Use literary devices to tell the story. Choose language that stimulates and entertains the
reader, such as simile, metaphor, imagery.
11.Introduce the essay or other work with a hook. Its purpose is to grab the readers’
attention and compel them to reader further. Popular hooks include a quotation, question, or
thought-provoking fact.
12.End the creative nonfiction piece with a final, important point. Otherwise the reader will
think, “So what!” “What was the point? It was an interesting story, but how does it apply to
me or my life?”

Analysis: Teacher flashes samples of Creative Non Fiction stories and asks students to say something about it. The teacher
opens a gateway for the students to analyze if the author of the stories have applied the guidelines discussed a while ago.

a. After reading samples of Creative Nonfictional texts, what have you learned about this type of
writing?
 b. What is the difference between Nonfictional text and Fictional text?
c. Which do you prefer? The Fictional? Or the nonfictional? Why?
d. Now that you know the elements of Creative Nonfiction, would it be easier for you to make one?
Why or Why not?
e. Why do you think we have to understand how a Create Nonfiction is written?
