Myth Narrative Planning Worksheet

Use the prompts to plan an original myth. You may invent a world, characters and explanation for a natural event. Treat cultures and beliefs with respect. There are no single correct creative answers.

Story foundations

1.Where and when will your myth happen? Describe details that establish its atmosphere.

2.Who drives your story? Note the main character and any important allies or opponents, including what they look like and what they want or feel.

3.What trouble begins the main character’s journey, and what two events make the situation more difficult?

Build the plot

4.What is the turning point of your myth? Describe the most tense moment and the choice or event that changes what happens next.

5.After the turning point, what happens as the danger or conflict begins to settle?

6.How will the conflict be resolved? What idea or lesson could a reader take from the ending?

Shape the language

7.Create two similes that could describe a character, place or event in your myth.

8.Write one metaphor that could help a reader picture an important place, feeling or force in your myth.

9.Give a natural feature or object in your myth a human action, thought or feeling. Write a sentence using your idea.

10.Write one line of dialogue that reveals a character’s goal, worry or personality. Use suitable punctuation.

11.Choose one important scene. Jot down a detail the reader could notice through sight, sound, smell, touch and taste.

12.Choose time connectives you could use to guide a reader through your myth. Select any that fit, then add another of your own.

Map and check your plan

13.Use the story map to organise your ideas. Add brief notes for the setting, characters, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution.

Write or sketch ideas in each part of the sequence.

14.What might your myth explain about the world, or what belief or lesson might it explore?

15.Review your plan. Mark each feature you have included: a clear setting; characters with motives or feelings; a connected plot with a turning point and ending; at least three language features; time connectives; sensory details; and an idea or lesson.
