Story Mapping Worksheet
Read the story, then use clues from it to map what happens. Answer in complete sentences when you can.
The Ferry Trip
Hemi and Ana were taking the ferry with their uncle to visit a small island. Hemi carried a paper map, while Ana held a bag of apples for the trip.
Just as the ferry left the wharf, a strong gust blew the map from Hemi’s hands. It skittered across the deck and slid under a bench. Hemi worried that they would not know which walking track to take on the island.
Ana asked the ferry crew for help. Tane, the deckhand, found the map under the bench. One corner was damp, but the island trail was still clear. Hemi thanked Tane and tucked the map safely into his backpack. When they reached the island, the three of them followed the trail to a lookout above the harbour.
1.Where and when does the story begin? Use one detail from the story.

4.What problem does Hemi think the lost map might cause on the island?
