Running head: WRITING AS FREEDOM AND IMPRISONMENT 1 * shortened title, less than than 50 characters (counting spaces) * numbering starts here Writing Unites the Freedom to be Creative within the Imprisonment of Guidelines Deanna Selin University of Regina * title, name, and affiliation

WRITING AS FREEDOM AND IMPRISONMENT 2 * running head & page number * section title Abstract This paper examined the relationship between the freedom of creativity and the imprisonment of guidelines during the writing process. Participants were 25 graduate-level students from the University of Regina. It was hypothesized that these students would show more creativity in their writing skills as guidelines increased. The methodology included using learning journals to discuss thoughts on how each student viewed his/her personal writing style. The hypothesis was shown to be true and will be discussed at length in the paper. Keywords: writing, freedom, creativity * word limit: 150 - 250

General Academic Writing Introduction identify the topic (without assumptions) explore and resolve an interesting problem THESIS STATEMENT = problem, contradiction, argument Body Paragraphs engage in dialogue and ‘talk through it’ use transition words and phrases to create flow your own words are more powerful than others Conclusion closed ending: restates main ideas to remind the reader open ending: shows new thought to leave the reader thinking and may end with another question

Referencing the Ideas of Others paraphrase/summarize to condense material According to Smith (2003) writing can be fun and creative. direct quotation “Writing can also be challenging” (Newman, 2002, p. 7). Newman (2002) suggests writing can be “challenging” (p. 7). direction quotation of length (50 words or more) Bob’s (2005) research found the following: Writing can be challenging and rewarding. It is a challenge to learn guidelines, but rewarding to write about something of interest to the individual student. Students have unique perspectives that require creativity. (p. 54)
