Writing RTC: Reference and Context Guide

RTC is used to analyze dialogues between characters in a story. It has two sections: Reference, which identifies who spoke and to whom, and Context, which describes when and why the dialogue occurred. An example is provided where a little girl tells a lion he cannot come to school with her as pets are not allowed, citing her teacher as the source of this rule.
