This blog post has two sections:

Creative Work

Write a nonfiction paragraph or a stanza of poetry that demonstrates theme. You have not learned much about the forms at this point except through examples in the module resources; use these to guide your writing. You will learn more about the specifics of each form when you prepare to write your first draft in Module Five.

Reflection Questions

Why did you choose the form you used (nonfiction or poetry) to apply theme?

In what way(s) does your choice appeal to your personal interests and style?

This blog post is public in the course. Both your peers and instructor will be able to see your posts. Feel free to comment on your peers' posts constructively to further your understanding and own ability to use theme as a literary element.
