CREATIVE
NONFICTION
AND DRAMA
DRAMA
•A WRITTEN WORKS THAT TELLS A
STORY THROUGH ACTION AND
SPEECH OR IT IS A PLAY THAT IS
MEANT TO BE STAGED.
FIVE ELEMENTS OF
DRAMA
SITUATION
- THE SETTING AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF
THE DRAMATIC ACTION - THE WHO,
WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, AND WHAT IS AT
STAKE OF THE ROLES/CHARACTERS.
CHARACTER
• IN THE DRAMA, CHARACTER IS ALWAYS
IN MOTION, IN ACTION.
• KNOWING THEM BY WHAT HE/SHE IS
DOING AND BY WHAT HE/SHE IS
SAYING..
DIALOGUE
• A GOOD DIALOGUE WILL GIVE US MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARACTER, AS
WELL AS MORE EXPOSITION. A CHARACTER
IS SAYING SOMETHING THAT WILL LEAD TO
ANOTHER ACTION OR EVENT THAT WILL
MOVE THE STORY TOWARDS THE CLIMAX.
PLOT
• A SERIES OF EVENTS ARRANGED
LOGICALLY TO MAKE THE STORY
MORE INTERESTING
STYLE
• HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE
PLAYWRIGHTS’ OR THE WRITERS’ USE OF
LANGUAGE.

THE KEY TO GOOD CREATIVE NONFICTION IS
DRAMATIC WRITING AND THE KEY TO DRAMATIC
WRITING IS ACTION. FORGET THE SLOW START,
THE WARM-UP, AND THE BUILD-UP. MOST
MODERN READERS DO NOT HAVE THAT MUCH
TIME TO SPARE. DEPENDING ON THE TEXT,
ACTION MAY ALREADY BE REQUIRED EVEN IN THE
BEGINNING PARAGRAPH.
CAUGHT IN THE FOREST
• SCAN OLD NEWSPAPERS AND LOOK FOR
NEWS ABOUT FORESTS - TREE PLANTING
ACTIVITIES, DEFORESTATION, FOREST FIRE,
ILLEGAL LOGGING, REMAINING FOREST
COVERS, AMONG OTHERS. CLIP THIS NEWS
ARTICLE AND BE PREPARED TO SHARE IT TO
THE WHOLE CLASS.
