Check Your Understanding
Narrative Writing Prompt
Think about the hero you created in the previous activity. What might the hero experience in the Initiation Stage of his or her journey? Draft an event using your understanding of the Road of Trials to guide your structure and development. Be sure to:
• Use narrative techniques such as dialogue, pacing, and description, and to develop experiences, events, and/or characters.
• Use diction, detail, and imagery to create tone and mood.
• Sequence the event logically and naturally, and use transitions to connect ideas.
Visualize a key moment in the event. Use visual techniques to capture imagery, emphasize an important idea, and/or add interest. Challenge yourself to use a different combination of visual techniques for effect in each frame.
