Preach, Teach, Practice Creatively

Dear Colleagues ATC,

Preach, Teach, Practice Creatively
 
if not creativity:
a difference that makes a difference
between adverb and noun, process
& product, endeavor & achievement,
aims, goals & measurable outcomes..
 
Catholics don't like the word
“creativity” I was told by a colleague
who informed me the last quarter of
the preceding  century: gives me the
gee-willies he said with a  shiver &
I took him at his word..
 
Only the Creator Creates.
 
“Carrie was cold and smart and
meticulous. She crawled inside
your story with  a flashlight and
blew out all your candles.”
 
Critical Thinking.
 
“Good” for Carrie is that which is
“executed as vigorously as it's
conceived. It isn't false or
pretentious. It doesn't jerk the
reader around to no effect.  It
lives by it's own logic. It's poignant
without trying too hard,”*
..
Creative description of some
Assessment & Evaluation going on.  
 
A student recently explained to me
how she reads Faulkner. Open in the
middle and read both ways: in medias
res all over again. Faulkner hisself
eschews sequence if not  consequence...
so there..
 
An English Major, too.

Remarkable.

Usually it's the environmentalist who
surprises me creatively.
 
xxxooo, Sam
