yeah because I think that creative non-fiction is not that familiar I mean creative writing is kind of familiar to you guys but non-fiction not so much so I think it would be wise to start uh this the well our week with an introduction you know our first week will be uh just introduction so jira Jerry let's start off with a short activity note we have 41 viewers right now so Jerry uh can you tell us about this activity please so I think this is uh word association creative non-fiction and what words or phrases come to your mind when you hear the word creative non-fiction so you just have to type in your answers in the comment box maybe on our maybe on our last week no I am so guys tell us what you think what comes to your mind when you hear the word creative nonfiction yeah hello James ganaban Joseph abadilla Rowell fakun and everyone else who are watching us today yes hopefully the Damian I think my viewers this third quarter third kid yes I totally hope so because uh actually creative nonfiction is one of my favorite subjects to Roger Jerry oh technical writing yeah technical writing children yes the word creative refers to the use of literary craft the techniques fiction writers playwrights and Poets employed to present non-fiction I add yes that's correct actually because creative nonfiction although now we are talking about facts or the truth uh we still have to employ creative techniques no facts correct yes according to K ate yes it's true the longer kinds of non-fiction yes real life events and those are all correct guys amazing job you know Michaela true stories well told great job senior high school learners today yes uh imagination according to mark platon kids well imagine imagination yeah not so much nah uh that you will be making up stories well uh in non-fiction the stories are true to life maybe you can be imaginative in your telling no but you need to be as accurate as you can okay uh true to life events and reality great job guys students nothing for third quarter third yes thank you so much for answering guys great job everyone okay so actually try to what creative non-fiction is I think it's a great way to start the subject note if you really know what the subject means so chiru Jerry what is creative nonfiction anyways created a non-fiction is a true story told in a literary way where the plat character development and the dialogue are as important as a fox and these turrets so my good level up Dao young facts and then the the research the own subplot the character and the dialogue because all those things are something to you Jerry are you there okay I don't know what where children is Jerry but it's okay okay can you can you repeat what you said just a little earlier Peter Jerry yes uh non-fiction is a true story told in a literary way where the plot the character uh development and the dialogue is important as a facts and research yes thank you Cheeto Jerry yeah okay so no uh we actually uh put true story in both because unlike creative creative writing though or fiction we are talking about like something imaginative something that you just made up but for non-fiction it's actually based on true story or retaining the way we write plot uh characters uh dialogues and and like a story we still retain those elements but our basis is Jung true to life events not okay actually creative non-fiction has many names and here are some of the popular names of creative nonfiction Jerry can you help us foreign and then we have uh the fourth genre we also have a literary journalism the literature of fact and then the literature of reality wow that's it thank you Jerry now if you guys are uh kind of uh kind of like a questioning right what a fourth genre so we usually have like fiction then poetry then drama usually high school but we also call Creative non-fiction the fourth genre as its whole like it's another world of of writing that's why it's called the fourth genre and we also call it narrative non-fiction because we're also telling stories true stories yeah and of course creative non-fiction has something to do with history yeah yes okay foreign so actually uh creative nonfiction is fairly new uh if you like think about it right just because uh it kind of boomed in like the 21st century so right now we have like lots of non-fiction uh books articles uh Memoirs those kinds of of materials no but actually uh creative nonfiction goes all the way from like the 16th century uh the first creative non-fictionist are we we call him an essayist is Michelle de Montagna so Michelle dumontagne is a 16th century French writer who popularized essays as a literary form no so parang SI and Jose Michelle so he calls that essays these are his Reflections no so he is the very first creative non-fictionist and right now Jerry is it uh properly pronounced yes yes Jerry nice uh creative non-fiction writer to employ the diligence of a reporter the shifting voices and viewpoints of a novelist the refined word they evapo with and the analytical mods of the essays somewhat uh something to do with uh doing an essay you have to analyze its uh uh statement it's sentence but uh you have I you can catch the attention of your readers yeah yes that's correct and also in addition Lee gutkind is actually considered as the Godfather of creative nonfiction so he also established the very first non-fiction magazine we're in lots of non-fictionists can contribute their their essays uh their narratives and it can be read by a wide audience reporter you only have to report facts also at the same time you will also use voice a point of view like a short story writer and then poet and you can also be an analyst so if you are in a creative non-fiction kind of genre foreign all right guys right now we will discuss to you guys sure some reasons for writing creative non-fiction why do we have to learn how to write uh creative non-fiction okay let's see Jerry can you help us please yes the first one uh the first reason is you want to write a family history or a joiner uh journal for future generations and so you'll be writing say for example now and then of course that journal will be somewhat read by the future generation if that's true okay uh and number two is you want to share exciting painful or extraordinary experiences for example uh recently sober exciting for example uh it was the first time you spoke in public but declare your first breakup no or something extraordinary now for example UFO no or is and then you want to share these experiences in writing this is a true to life experiences and you want to put them on writing so creative non-fiction is for you yes so definitely uh viewers maybe maybe next time you can like invite them right and share their answers for sure yes that's right sabini Mark platon races and creating uh creative non-fiction is to tell true to life events to share insights no contributing to your writing competency that's a pretty good one thank you yes okay for the third one uh Twitter kid uh third reason uh you just had a profound realization or insight about an important subject okay especially Senior High School uh [Music] and actually when you run a creative non-fiction you don't need to really think about like you can just reflect back on what you just experienced and then you have tons of stories to tell no so for example number four you have survived a difficult childhood or adulthood uh so for example if your childhood if you had like childhood trauma you can write actually about them and it is like a form of like catharsis or like release No and then if you also had like it's going through uh some difficulty in your adulthood right now you can also write about that I think it's it's a great uh what do you call it it's a great material for a compelling non-fiction story okay yes it could also be a basis for them uh to be inspired Day by days uh Twitter kid uh your progress if you really had one or like step Stone yeah I totally agree to Jerry so for the fifth one uh tutor kit you want to preserve your feelings and emotions about an experience yeah so if I remember or yeah uh during our Childhood Days love letters sentimental letters about ourselves it's about our peers or somewhat uh oh patch little children actually kept a journal when I was like 19 to 21 and I had those letters too my love letters and when I look at them I am pleasantly like surprised at the same time embarrassed of my former status yes that makes me proud know that I have come so far uh I think that's the reason also for Creative non-fiction is to document how we have changed throughout the years you may actually write about that how you were before and compared to who you are right now nowadays yes yeah and number six no you if you want to give hope or inspiration to other people using your own experiences by for example you have experienced something uh something difficult and then you overcame it then you Mo you may share that story and that will also Inspire other people great great reasons for writing nonfiction so definitely so other than that what are the other reasons Kaya do you have in writing creative nonfictions okay information about ourselves or about the things uh surrounding us why yes I would like to say hi to uh Marissa buraga Angel Jose bhutak Eliza Luis Del domelo Soriano I think these are all from your division tutories Yes actually uh uh GC and hopefully they are watching too yeah actually uh this is mandatory performance output next challenge of the week that's great okay yeah so sabini Mark platon to release your stress I totally agree uh it's a form of catharsis when you write something that is kind of Haunting you it's a form to release your your stress yes Jerry yes to share some momentous experiences to the world Jitter kid yes yeah it may be momentum it may not be not momentous to anyone else but it's but but if it's momentous for you then I think it's worth sharing is that it not only allows but also encourages the writer to become a part of the story or the essay well honestly you are the star of your own creative nonfiction yes that's true great job Joseph by the way yeah all right so we will move on now guys to fiction versus versus presentation uh faction the characters are based on real people creative non-fiction also the characters are real people don't say yes and then a character personalities are a combination of qualities the owns affection non-fiction the personalities of the characters are as they are real in real life yes correct we usually create imaginary characters that are like based off uh characters that we know and sometimes uh human characters that we are creating in fiction personalities uh apparently though uh in Creative non-fiction the characters are real people yeah personality in the lab right now that's your personality in the story that goes for you too you are usually the real character and your personality is not made up so we're gonna chat yes so other than that we have uh the dialogue can be made up while in the non-fiction the dialogue is verbatim or recreated to the best of the author's ability that's a difference and then uh events can be made up in the fiction while in the non-fiction events truly happen so president yawago as a fiction peridotson and fashion independent okay and then the plot can be made up along the way those affection while uh written as accurately and truthful as possible the Onsen and fiction research may be used when necessary that's why uh the answer non-fiction definition and so yes it's reporting nowadays should is all base are all based in uh research that's why debate presidential debate research questions without any research that is included in our non-fiction yeah that's right here Jerry uh Charmaine from from sdo nuevasiha she's watching right now she's a really uh good friend uh and and also by the way no creative non-fiction it requires some kind of research just to make sure that we are as accurate as we can as possible remember in Creative non-fiction you should not lie you must retell the events as they happen as accurately as possible and that's what actually makes it like different from fiction uh now uh because creative non-fiction is concerned with memory sometimes your memory would be inaccurate that's why you need to do some research uh once in a while if Indica sure no so and when you lie it's a creative nonfiction that becomes fiction transformation that's right here Jerry okay checkpoint guys checkpoint so this is foreign [Music] [Laughter] what do they have to do uh in this checkpoint okay so you'll just have to identify if the following descriptions pertain to fiction or non-fiction the thing that we discussed a while ago and then type your answers in the comment box yes it's already for 27th that's future Roger Jerry okay characters are based on real people is it uh fiction or non-fiction what do you guys think um is non-fiction Enrico said it's fiction and so the answer is fiction yes when you say um yes that's right they were just your basis but you actually created a whole new character on your own and it's and they're made up okay very good next number two tutor Jerry number two uh dialogue is word for the word or recreated as accurately as possible is it fiction or non-fiction as accurately as possible yes when you say word for word uh okay Angeline said non-fiction Anthony said fiction Charmaine said fiction Mars James said non-fiction non-fiction the majority of the answers uh yeah and what's C and yes the answer is non-fiction so one is fiction the dialogue can be made up you can actually uh make up what your characters will say but for non-fiction Hindi puede Independence that's what you should write in your uh in your text okay children Jerry number three number three you have uh research isn't courage to ensure accuracy RG yes Mark platon Richelle oh foreign that's amazing yes oh my gosh and the answer guys is non-fiction yes yes non-fiction we use research when uh when you're not so sure about the memory so it helps with the accuracy you know so research nice now guys we will now discuss the different forms of non-fiction we may not be able to discuss uh all of these in detail but throughout uh this semester this a quarter we will try our best to walk you through the different forms so these are the shorter forms of creative nonfiction okay when you say short forms of creative non-fiction the word count is typically around like 750 that that is the lowest to 5 000 words no so five thousand words that's a little longer too but it's not enough to create a book anyways so we can still include that and the short form so here are some of the short forms we have the personal essay the lyrical essay the travel essay or article and sometimes it could be also called as a travelogue no yes uh the food a food article uh those are very uh the food blogs those are also forms of creative non-fiction what else are other forms of creative non-fiction tutor Jerry yes food oh profile literary journalism journalism subjects online digital digital journalism contest [Music] and then science and nature writing and then Mosaic vignette or hybrid peace and guys actually my favorite one here is called the vignette no uh [Laughter] it's actually a French word called uh it's uh it's like a Vine vignette so it's a little or a short form of of a short non-fiction uh piece or and it's like a slice of life you know and we also have longer forms of creative nonfiction these are longer forms uh are usually in book length no 50 000 to a hundred thousand words longer forms of nonsense yes uh examples are memrise and then autobiography we also have biography and then non-fiction novels so yeah novels [Music] well I think it depends on the novel no yes it depends on the novel uh yes if that is really uh exciting somehow yes I think number side I'm actually reading a novel right now a novel series by uh Brandon Moy it's like a young adult author and it's really good I think if you pick the right novel then you will you will uh actually not be able to put it down because it's it's an exciting uh activity yes so tirajiri for the last seven minutes of our uh time today we will be reading a sample of creative nonfiction and Jerry this is actually my sample Yes dear senior high school students [Music] knowledge regarding writing [Laughter] [Music] okay so let me explain right now guys uh hi palak I AdWords Isabella okay so this actually guys uh my experience last night so uh I saw a frog climbing on the wall of my bathroom of my toilet same yes yes and I I thought to myself why not create like a vignette uh using this as my subject this is a true story and a vignette is a short tell retelling of this story and also at the same time I kind of Records my insights about the story so uh here it is all right and Tito Jerry will just take turns reading this yes okay so guys listen up no and hopefully you can tell me your insights about this experience as well so a frog inched its way up the fitted blue wall of my toilet it was about this twice the size of my thumb with black and green streaks across its shiny back why it shows my Mo my moist toilet wall is beyond me still it paints taking the climb its way about the midterm of the ground Ends by ins then attacked its miniature arms and legs close its eyes and went still yes it kind of slept there right it seemed content sleeping in the dark corner of a toilet ignoring the occasional Splash from the water coming from the top from the tap here I am struggling for the third night now to find a comfortable spot or a silver as a sliver of peace and my queen size bed how dare that frog [Laughter] so that's my non-fiction uh vignette guys children what do you think about that somewhat uh while you're in bed now yes and uh it kind of occurred to me that this frog was actually comfortable in a place that is not necessarily comfortable uh in the wall right on the wall of my toilet it that it's dark it's moist it's kind of miserable but me I'm on my bed and I'm with my pillows my queen size bed but I couldn't find peace but this frog was able to find peace and sleep and I thought how dare that frog uh find peace in the midst of turmoil of chaos I kind of think about like how are the human condition of how do we really find peace in this world uh how do we sleep no how do we sleep when everything else uh outside is is like magulo is chaotic uh sabini Mark platon the Frog represents yourself which represents your being true to yourself that could be true Mark no yes I'm being true to myself that I am not at peace and I am jealous of that kind of piece all right that is a contentment that's right place and we should also be contented as a human being and that's maybe how you will find true peace in being content yes the top person acting session with the challenge of the week and of course you have to do this next week we are expecting hundreds of outputs hundreds by next week and our challenge of the
