An Experiential Approach to Teaching Creative Writing

Rosalind Buckton-Tucker

Abstract

Abstract Is it possible to teach creative writing? Although creative talent may be innate, all individuals have the capacity to create, and creativity can be nurtured through specific approaches. The works of David Kolb in relation to experiential learning pedagogy are explored and adapted to creative writing courses, and examples of potential exercises are given.
