This worksheet is a
Story Map. It helps you plan or summarize a story by breaking it down into its most important parts. Since there is no specific story provided to analyze, the "solution" is understanding what information goes into each empty box.
Here is what you need to write in each section:
1. Top Left: Characters
What goes here: The people, animals, or creatures in the story.
*
Tip: List the main character (the hero) and any other important characters who help or cause trouble.
* *Example:* If the story was about *The Three Little Pigs*, you would write: "The three pigs and the Big Bad Wolf."
2. Top Right: Setting
What goes here: Where and when the story happens.
*
Tip: Think about the place (like a school, a forest, or outer space) and the time (like long ago, today, or at night).
* *Example:* "In a small village, a long time ago."
3. Bottom Section: The Plot (Beginning, Middle, End)
This part tracks what happens in the story from start to finish.
*
Beginning:
*
What goes here: How the story starts. Introduce the characters and the setting. Mention the main problem or goal.

What goes here: The events that happen while trying to solve the problem. This is usually the longest part. Include the challenges the characters face.
