Story Mountain Blank Template — free printable diagram

About this illustration

A black and white diagram visually represents the typical structure of a story, depicted as a mountain with five labeled stages. The path up and down the mountain features numbered points: 1. Opening, 2. Build-up, 3. Climax (at the mountain's peak), 4. Resolution, and 5. Ending. This educational visual is ideal for teaching narrative structure, often known as Freytag's Pyramid or the story mountain concept, in English language arts. It can be used on worksheets for story analysis, as a reference in slide presentations on creative writing, or for label exercises where students identify plot points. The image features a clear, flat line illustration style.
