1,500 words for the topic chosen + 500 exegesis

Description:
This assignment focuses on reading and responding creatively to the readings, ideas and issues raised in the latter half of the course. Broad prompts will be provided [see topics below]; you may respond in any genre, form, or style that is appropriate within the scope of the course.
Submissions must comply with the ‘Creative Response Manuscript Presentation Guidelines’ [see below] and the ‘Guidelines for Exegeses’ [see below].

Criteria & Marking:
The Creative Response asks students to respond imaginatively to a theme related to their course reading and to exercise skills in the craft of writing such as the use of narrative voice, plot structure, point of view, metaphor, dialogue, etc.
The Exegesis demonstrates your ability to employ self-criticism as an essential part of the creative process. You will be asked to consider your creative product as if you were the critic of your own work. This assessment aims to develop your confidence as a writer, and your understanding of publishing industry demands.

Select one of the following topics:

1) Identity/Hi-density/Textuality

Write a 3-page performance poem about cultural issues in the neighbourhood where you live or where you grew up.
For the exegesis, explain how your poem is inspired by the work of Urayoán Noel.

2) Identity/Hi-density/Visuality

The same as for 1) above, except that you submit the 3-page poem as a video of yourself on YouTube performing the poem.
For the exegesis, explain how your performance is inspired by the work of Urayoán Noel.

GUIDELINES FOR EXEGESES
In providing an exegesis, a practitioner gives an account of the thinking behind a creative work, and may also state a rationale for the work. The exegesis is the practitioner’s own critique of the practice and theory that has gone into the work. It can include an analysis of the influences and contexts that have helped shape the work. It can also include an account of the writer’s stance, attitude and message.

Typical ways of writing an exegesis include quoting from, and making an argument based on, primary and secondary source texts related to the writing process, alongside your own considered viewpoint as practitioner.
