Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Plan a story's structure by distinguishing a main character's obvious external need from a hidden internal need
Sequence a narrative's inciting incident, complications, turning point, and resolution before drafting
Teaching tips
Model the template first using a familiar story (a fairy tale or a class read-aloud) before asking students to apply it to their own original story idea.
Use as a pre-writing planning step ahead of a longer narrative writing assignment, since the template contains no space for full drafting.
Skills covered
Narrative structure planning — students distinguish a character's obvious and hidden needs and sequence an inciting incident, three complications, a turning point, and a resolution.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Does this template include a sample story to outline, or do students supply their own?
Students supply the story themselves — either an existing one they choose or an original idea — and use the six-part skeleton (obvious and hidden character needs, an inciting incident, three complications, help, and a resolution) to map it out on the page.
