For our Senior Narrative Unit, we were challenged with the question,

“How well can you apply advanced narrative techniques to build a compelling story?”

In English, taking inspiration from our studies of Butler’s Parable of the Sower, we researched either a social, cultural, political, economic, technological, or environmental issue that influenced our story’s main character, setting, and central conflict. The real-world context helped us develop a more focused and persuasive story for our intended audience. In the end, each of us communicated our vision to our creative peers in a pitch presentation with opportunities for collaborative feedback.
