The seven elements to the narrative framework are:
 * **Characters**: the characteristics of the main characters involved
 * **Setting**: the time, place, and context in which the information took place
 * **Initiative Event**: the event that starts the action rolling in the story
 * **Internal Response**: how the main characters react emotionally to the initiating event
 * ** Goal **: what the main characters decide to do as a reaction to the initiating event (the goal they set)
 * **Consequence**: how the main characters try to accomplish the goal
 * **Resolution**: how the goal turns out

Some questions that are often asked when using the narrative framework are:
 * Characters - Who are the main characters and what distinguishes them from others?
 * Setting - When and where did the story take place? What were the circumstances?
 * Initiative Event - what prompted the action in the story?
 * Internal Response - How did the characters express their feelings?
 * Goal - What did the main characters decide to do? Did they set a goal, and if so, what was it?
 * Consequence - How did the main characters try to accomplish their goal(s)?
 * Resolution - What were the consequences?
