Thanks for the link to the article Veronica. It's great to see how successful your work has been and where it has taken you - well done! I'm happy to be in this Module and I hope to be able to learn from you as much as I can! As far as CW is concerned, after reading the different definitions, reading the articles by James and Maley, the paper by Clark that you also shared and our first tutorial, and writing my first Flash Fiction and Haiku, my impression, defintion and own beliefs regarding CW have started to shift! I really like this because I always thought I was creative in other ways e.g. creating new materials for class, activities, resources for my trainee teachers, but I never really thought of being creative in writing. I think the most creative I have been in my teaching of writing has been using Story Dice, the app I mentioned in my initial response to your introductory task. I think this has been mainly because most of the writing done in the classroom, especially in the last few years, is related to exam preparation and thus with the priming of the students for their debut on the day of the exam! I have also tried other writing tasks which would fall under the definition given by Witty and LaBrant's 3 point list, but which in hindsight lacked passion. I can see this will no longer be the case in my future writing so THANK YOU!
