University of Maine at Presque Isle Course Introduction to Creative Writing Milestone Outcome 6 Using the five critical elements in nonfiction work
You have reached a Milestone Activity! Please be sure you complete the Personalized Lesson above before continuing.
Milestone Activities are important stops along your educational journey to check your progress towards mastering the competency and to get feedback and guidance from your tutorial faculty. Please note: You must complete this Milestone Activity before moving on in this competency.
Milestones ask questions that touch upon concepts covered in previous Learning Activities and provide you with the opportunity to see concepts from the perspective of experts in the field, your tutorial faculty. This Milestone Activity is not graded and will not impact your score on your Final Assessment; however, your response must score a “Proficient” or “Exemplary” on each criterion, listed in the rubric below, in order to access and submit your Final Assessment.
To complete this Milestone Activity, read the question below and then provide your response in the comment box. In order to score a “Proficient” or “Exemplary”, your response must be thoughtful and substantive, and you must reference or cite content from this competency. Your tutorial faculty will use the rubric to determine if your post shows the depth of thought required to successfully complete this Milestone. Let’s get started!
Note that this Milestone Activity has 3 parts.
For this assessment, you will write and workshop a long-form nonfiction memoir, documentary, or serialized blog. The entire story should be no more than, 2,000 words (if you serialize it, you would then write, say, six 350-word chapters of a long-form, narrative, nonfiction story). You may choose to show a memoir or an observational essay. The latter option simply has you go out into the world and write what you see happening in your own words, such as going to the park and writing (just as a photo-journalist would photograph) the neighborhood kids as they scuffle over a ball in the sandbox.
Part 1: Workshop this draft with a tutor and provide (upload or share a link to) a verifiable draft with commentary
Part 2: Submit your revised, polished, final draft as a Google Doc link, be sure that it is shared so that your instructor can comment.
Part 3: Include a few sentences of your artist statement about your nonfiction piece answering the question “What is nonfiction to you and how is it represented in this work?”
