Experiential Education & Narrative Writing: Gateway To User Empathy
The inclusion of experimental narrative writing opportunities throughout an educational program interjects critical thinking and emphasizes the importance of student experiences. Scenarios and simulation based activities were created to help students understand the role of feelings in shaping the human experience in relation to their physical environment. Hands-on activities that create tangible associations with the disabled (or diverse user groups) is the most valuable technique for developing and encouraging positive action. They allow students to filter out personal biases and guide tactical decision making. Research indicates that autobiographical accounts of people create empathy and help students understand the world in different ways rather than relying on preconceived ideas; therefore, reflective narrative writing creates opportunities for students to identify with personas of the populations they research.
The simulation and writing activities were implemented within a junior level interior design course relating to understanding building codes for various user groups in society. Pretests were administered to students related to understanding, empathy, and critical thinking in design as it relates to different user groups. Narrative assignments were integrated and user profiles were created for simulation activities based on the information gathered from pretests. Critical writing rubrics were developed and classroom teaching tools were researched and purchased for simulation activities. Students performed simulation activities, writing assignments, class discussions, and reflections. Post tests were administered and evaluated to assess the success of narrative focused activities. The success of student development tracked through the course and was compared to previous year’s final grades and course evaluations.

It also outlines the typical structure of orientation, complication, and resolution and discusses points of view and developing a central theme.
Narrative writing
This document discusses elements of narrative writing and storytelling. It provides tips for using concrete language that appeals to the five senses to grab readers' attention. The RENNS model is presented as a way to add details to a story using reasons, examples, names, numbers, and senses. Various examples from literature are given to illustrate the use of different senses. The document also discusses Ira Glass's view of stories being built from anecdotes and moments of reflection. Robert McKee's "commandments of storytelling" are listed, advising writers on techniques like not taking the climax out of the protagonist's hands or using false mystery. In conclusion, stories are said to have the power to both simulate and inspire
Narrative Powerpoint
This document discusses the elements of narrative writing and expository writing. Narrative writing tells a story and contains elements like exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. Expository writing explains or informs and has an introduction, three body paragraphs, and conclusion. Both types of writing should use transition words, be organized into paragraphs, and have a clear beginning, middle and end. Effective writing applies creativity skills regardless of whether it is narrative or expository.
PowerPoint on Narrative
I created this PowerPoint based upon an article by Steven Figg, 'Understanding Narrative Writing: Practical Strategies to Support Teachers'. I have used it with a group of Year 7 students to help them revise Narrative for their Naplan testing.

Some of the prompts ask students to write advice to a person, explain the importance of honesty or a role model, or persuade about a new school facility or rule change. Others prompts ask students to describe events or places, tell stories, or write about themes in stories and how people's experiences shape their beliefs. The prompts are intended to give middle school students practice writing for different purposes and audiences.
Attack the prompt
The document provides guidance on how to effectively analyze and respond to a writing prompt. It advises the reader to carefully read the prompt twice to understand the purpose, audience, and format.

The document also defines common prompt words and provides examples to illustrate what is being asked, such as relating topics, tracing a sequence of events, comparing similarities and differences, or analyzing parts of a topic.
Introduction Writing: Narrative Essay
The document provides strategies for writing an effective introduction to a narrative essay. It discusses that an introduction should catch the reader's attention, establish the narrator's voice and point of view, and create interest to make the reader want to continue reading. The document also lists things to avoid in an introduction, such as summarizing the entire essay, using slang, or starting with a quote or question unless it is particularly interesting. Finally, it provides seven strategies for strong introduction openings, such as starting in the middle of the action, using something shocking or misleading, creating mystery, introducing a problem, using vivid imagery, employing humor, or posing an intriguing question.
Creative Writing Prompts
A student finds a mysterious package instead of their usual lunch. The package has their name on it but they do not know who sent it or what is inside. The prompt asks students to write the story from different perspectives, including from third person about someone else finding the package. It also provides examples of second and third person point of view.
Narrative Writing and its types
NARRATIVE WRITING relates a clear sequence of events that occurs over time. Both what happens and the order in which the events occur are communicated to the reader. Effective narration requires a writer to give a clear sequence of events (fictional or non-fictional) and to provide elaboration.
A Narrative Essay
This document provides guidance on writing a narrative essay. A narrative essay recreates a personal experience through descriptive details. It tells a story and communicates a lesson learned. When writing a narrative essay, identify a significant experience and draft details of what happened. Create an outline and use vivid language to immerse readers in the experience. Communicate the importance of the experience either at the beginning or end of the essay. Revise by ensuring the experience is effectively recreated and significance is clear. Potential essay topics include childhood memories, achievements, failures, realizations, and life changes.
