Narrative Writing Prompt questions
What makes a good narrative prompt?
One that unlocks a real memory with a clear moment of change. These prompts are chosen to give every student something true to write about.
Can it be fictional instead?
Yes — students can invent the events while keeping the narrative structure. The prompt still gives them a shape to follow.
