创意写作（湖南师范大学）第一章测试_智慧树知到答案2021年

第一章 Welcome to Creative Writing：This chapter explains what creative writing is, and how it is different from other types and purposes of writing. Writing creatively is an ancient practice all over the world. It allows us to explore our individual identities and connections to society and other people. Creative writing uses self-expression and audience awareness to improve the quality of our lives and to benefit readers. Creative writing may be studied as career preparation and for personal skills and enjoyment.1.1The Foundation of Creative Writing: The Senses:In our class we’ll learn to become better writers by using our imaginations to write about the time and place in which we live, and by following in a tradition. Our class is a journey with imaginations as vehicles. The very meaning of creative writing is writing with an adventurous spirit to take our own journey of creativity leading to self-discovery and sharing.
1.2Building on the Foundation: Using the Senses:Through creative writing we can improve our relationships with ourselves, nature and other people, thus enhancing our overall sense of happiness. Creative writing is getting in touch with your originality to express your ideas and feelings with honesty and elegance. In our course, you will learn how to access your creativity to write poems, stories, diaries, and plays.
1.3Multi-genre Creative Writing Prompts, Waking Up Attention, Using the Senses, Memory:In this class, we will learn four fun activities to start our creative writing: using the senses, picking a position for close sensing, free-write and writing to music. Each of them helps us write with imagination and stimulation. So, just relax when you are writing and then expand the best part of your writing into a poem, story, essay, or script.
1.4Connecting with Readers, Authors and Audiences:This lecture is about how to connect with others through creative writing. There are two important roles in creative writing. There’s your role to connect with yourself as the author, and there’s your role to connect with readers. One of our jobs as writers is to write from the heart in the best way possible. If we want readers to find our writing worthwhile, we need to keep three things in mind: subject, style, and presentation.
