Frame Food Narrative Purpose

Students engage with readers and culture participants through direct conversations to gain empathy and clarity about the project's core purpose. They will produce a POV statement, craft How Might We (HMW) questions, develop user persona profiles, and create a problem tree or systems map that models how food functions as a narrative bridge across cultures and how understanding these connections enrich literary analysis and personal identity. They will present early drafts to real users for feedback to inform iterative refinements.
