Structuring Narratives: S-C-Q Framework Overview PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 59-slide How to Develop a Logically Structured Presentation PowerPoint presentation, outlines a framework for structuring narratives using the S-C-Q model, which stands for Situation, Complication, and Question. This approach is designed to effectively engage an audience by presenting a clear storyline that captures attention and prompts critical thinking.

The first section, "The Situation," serves as the foundation of the narrative. It establishes a non-controversial statement that acts as a starting point. The example provided, "The Superbowl is on television on Sunday," illustrates a familiar context that most readers can relate to. This statement is intentionally neutral, setting the stage for further exploration. It also prompts the audience to wonder, "so what?" This curiosity is essential for maintaining engagement.

Next is "The Complication," which introduces a disruptive element following the situation. This part is crucial as it raises a question in the reader's mind, creating tension that the narrative will address. The example given, "I have work and other activities I need to do on Sunday," introduces a conflict that many can empathize with. It highlights the challenge of balancing personal interests with professional responsibilities, thereby increasing the relevance of the discussion.

The slide concludes with a series of questions that the audience may ponder, such as "What do we do?" and "Is this the right solution?" These questions are designed to guide the reader toward the next steps in the narrative, prompting them to seek answers that will be explored in the subsequent content. This structured approach not only clarifies the message, but also enhances the overall impact of the presentation.
