A Matter of Perspective: Craft, reflexivity, and CNF in the SHS curriculum This lecture examines the core materials disseminated by the Department of Education for teaching Creative Writing (CW) and Creative Nonfiction (CNF) in Senior High School, focusing on how CNF writing in particular is treated as the construction of a self-contained, fact-based narratives using techniques and elements borrowed from fiction and other literary genres. Craft and reflexivity are used as intertwined frameworks to analyze the DepEd materials and propose “perspective” as a definitive element that can be operationalized to help teach secondary-level competencies in relation to several key characteristics of CNF as a genre: the expectation of factuality and “truth-telling”; the need to treat the self not only as a site for narrative and reflection, but as an active agent with the duty to engage in the labor necessary to make sense of the world around us; and the importance of engaging in genuine ways of knowing, breaking the dichotomy of the unassailable subjectivity of the personal and the imagined neutrality of facts. In this way, CNF pedagogy can support key academic competencies such as media literacy, critical thinking, and purposeful communication. About the Speaker Asst.
