2.3.1. For the Assessment

The material used for the evaluation of the narrative level of the participant was the unpublished story titled The Lost Backpack. The story tells of a boy child, Fernando, who loses his backpack on the street while walking with his father. After a few hours the backpack is found by Alex, one of the characters in the story, who takes it home until the next day, when he decides to go to the Police Station to return it. When Alex is at the Police Station explaining that he found a backpack, Fernando appears with his parents. The child realizes that Alex has his backpack, so he approaches him with his parents, who prove it to him and, thus, they recover the lost backpack.

The narratives produced by the participant in the pre-test and in the post-test were recorded in MP3 format with an audio recorder incorporated into a Smartphone.
