What do we use maps for?
Correct! Maps help us know where to go.
Let’s learn how to make a story map. It will tell us where our story is going.
Are you ready? You are going to be an author and write your own fictional story.
You know the parts of a story; you retell them with your five fingers every week.
Wiggle your thumb.
You need to think about who your characters will be in your story.
Will your characters be animals
or people
or both?
You will draw your characters on this part of your story map.
Wiggle your pointer finger.
Think about where your story will take place.
Will it be at a house, a park, the zoo, or the bowling alley? The sky is the limit.
Maybe the sky will be your setting.
You will draw your setting on this part of your story map.
Wiggle your ring finger.
What events will happen in your story?
This is where you will draw what will happen in the beginning of your story.
In the middle section you will draw what will happen in the middle of your story.
The last section is where you will draw what will happen at the end of your story.
Now your story map will guide you through writing your story.
So sharpen your pencil, it’s time to create your story map!
