Beginning-middle-end Story Map

About this printable

This printable is a single-page story-planning organiser that breaks a narrative into three horizontal sections (Beginning, Middle, End) with labelled boxes and short prompts. Each section contains 2–3 focused prompts (e.g. Setting, Characters, Opening; Problem, Events, How They Try to Solve It; Solution, Ending, Lesson/Message) and lined spaces for short responses. It’s designed to scaffold students through sequencing and plot planning as a pre-writing tool.
