For the Narrative 2 unit, we were tasked with creating a world and writing a Narrative story about it. Then, we also created a research paper that relates to a theme in the story. I chose to make my research on political polarization and how it is fueled by social media. This connects to my story because in it, the villain is a political character who’s motivations are to get people to vote his way.
The goal of the English Unit as I understood it was to expand and develop a world and all the parts of it. During this project, we were tasked with writing a Narrative Treatment, Research Essay, and then a final Pitch Presentation to bring it all together. In this, I learned a ton about how to write a Narrative Treatment, good techniques to use in a research essay, as well as how to make a pitch presentation engaging and how to best express my ideas. Overall I think I learned a ton in this unit and I grew as a writer and a reader. This World Building Unit allowed me to express my creativity and learn a lot along the way.
Here is the video of the pitch presentation that I created:
