  2. Working with Narrative Prompts View the narrative prompt: The Box Consider the following as you view the prompt • What is the title? • What format does it indicate to write in? • What questions and leading statements are used and how are these helpful? • Other than the words, what else can you use to help you in your writing? • Accessible via: https://www.nap.edu.au/_resources/NAP_website_example_writing_prompt_narrative_The_Box.pdf

  4. Narrative prompts: application Use the stimulus of The Lives Of Animals (book cover) as a writing prompt. The title is given to you. Consider some guiding questions you could use to stimulate your thinking, using this image as a stimulus.

  5. The orientation (‘setting the scene’) When? Where? What? Who?

  6. Last year, Jane’s mother decided to move the family to a coastal town in Australia. The town was famous for the beautiful dolphins that lived in the bay. Jane had loved dolphins ever since she was a young girl. In fact, it was her dream to one day become a marine scientist so she could work in the ocean with animals every day. EXAMPLE

  7. Has this example addressed the when, where, what and who? How could this writing move from basic to more mature? Last year, Jane’s mother decided to move the family to a coastal town in Australia. The town was famous for the beautiful dolphins that lived in the bay. Jane had loved dolphins ever since she was a young girl. In fact, it was her dream to one day become a marine scientist so she could work in the ocean with animals every day.

  8. The complication What is going to happen to your characters which will disrupt the scene you set in the orientation? How will your characters respond? What sequence of events will this set in motion? Will it create tension?

  9. After arriving, Jane decided to explore the local attractions. She came across a big building on the waterfront called ‘Dolphin Dream Land’. Intrigued, she walked inside, paying $20 at the counter (she figured it was worth it to see dolphins up close). She walked up to the main tank, which held a solitary dolphin – the sign said his name was Simon. Simon looked incredibly sad, barely moving, and avoiding interactions with the many visitors lining up to see him. She felt angry, upset and concerned. How could she rescue Simon from this tiny boring pool? EXAMPLE How could this writing be improved?

  10. She decided to go and speak to the manager, to ask why they thought it was acceptable to keep Simon in such inadequate conditions. The manager said she was busy, and wouldn’t have time to speak to Jane today. Disappointed and angry, she started to head out of the building. That was when she spied an open door that read ‘Staff Only’. Without much time to think it through, she looked around her, and then made a run for the door. Seeing her running, a security guard immediately sprang to action and stopped her in her tracks. He told her he was going to call her mother, and she would be in a lot of trouble. EXAMPLE How could this writing be improved?

  11. The resolution How will the tension be resolved? How will the disruption be resolved? What is the conclusion of your narrative?

  12. When Jane’s mother arrived she had a concerned look on her face. Jane had always been such a good girl, she’d never been in trouble before now. Her mother couldn’t understand why she would break the rules. Jane explained to her mother why she had run for the door – she wanted to get to Simon because she was worried that he was depressed and needed help. Her mother looked at her daughter, and said ‘I understand why you did this, but you can’t break the rules – if you don’t like what’s happening to Simon then there are other ways to address it’. EXAMPLE How could this writing be improved?

  13. Later that night, Jane and her mother sat down and brainstormed how they could help Simon. They decided to make and sell some beautiful t-shirts with a picture of Simon on them, to help raise funds for a local dolphin protection charity. Although it upset Jane that Simon was still left in the pool, she was pleased that she could at least do something to help him and other dolphins living in captivity. EXAMPLE How could this writing be improved? Where does the resolution occur?
