CREATIVE EXPRESSION 1: SHORT STORY How to Unleash Your Creativity onto The Pages

CREATIVE EXPRESSION? A ‘creative expression’ is a process which allows you to put forward your personal ideas and opinions in a creative manner. At the end of the process, you will have a creative product as the result of the aforesaid process.

CREATIVE RESPONSE AS A MEDIUM OF CREATIVE EXPRESSION Creative response necessitates you to respond to an event, phenomenon, text, story, or an issue in an imaginative way using a medium of your choice. At the end of the process, your ‘response’ would be in the form of a creative product.

EXAMPLES OF CREATIVE RESPONSE Short Story Novella & Novel Meme Song Skit, Sketch, Role Play & Play Spoken Word Performance Poetry & Digital Poetry Video Response

SHORT STORY AS A FORM OF CREATIVE RESPONSE Short story is one of the popular forms of creative response. Usually, when writing a short story as a creative response, the writer will change the original story to suit the writer’s imagination and preference. The amount of change as well as the elements changed differ from one writer to another.

ELEMENTS OF A SHORT STORY Plot Setting Theme Character Point of View Conflict

ELEMENT 1: PLOT A plot is the events that make up a story. These events relate to each other in a pattern or a sequence. There are 5 elements in a plot:

EXPOSITION Introduce: 1. Main characters 2. Place e.g. outer space, village, Malaysia) 3. Time e.g. medieval period, modern age RISING ACTION Introduce: 1. Supporting characters 2. 1 or 2 conflicts CLIMAX 1. Main conflict 2. Most intense moment in the story-everything changes after the climax FALLING ACTION Conflicts start to resolve RESOLUTION 1. Main conflict is resolved 2. Cliff hanger endings are allowed but the main conflict must be more or less resolved.

ELEMENT 2: SETTING Setting mainly tells the readers the place(s) and time which serve as the backdrop of a story. It may also include weather, culture and social conditions.

ELEMENT 3: CHARACTER Main Minor Protagonist (good) Antagonist (bad)

ELEMENT 4: THEMES The theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey It is also the controlling idea of a story. Short stories often have just one main theme and can have a few sub-themes.

ELEMENT 5: POINT OF VIEW Point of view is the perspective from which a story is told; the narrator's position in relation to the story. Point of view may be first person (using pronoun – I), third person (using pronoun- he/she/it or names; Feona)

ELEMENT 6: CONFLICT Conflicts are essential to a plot because they add ‘drama’ and ‘excitement’ in a plot. There are two types of conflict: Internal conflict: problems that the character has within himself/herself Man vs Himself (pyschological) External conflict: problems that occur because of outside forces Man Versus Man [between characters] Man versus Nature [stormy weather, jungle, tsunami]
