The story map walks students through several key literary elements and therefore helps increase their comprehension. The front page helps them identify characters, setting, conflict, resolution, and theme. The second page (back side) defines several basic literary elements such as plot, character, rising and falling action and climax. It also has a reading log and walks students through determining how many pages to read each day to complete a book by a certain date. This has proven to be a very effective tool for elementary and middle school students alike.

Great use with a class read novel. My students have trouble with identifying the climax. This is a good help.

Help
Great story map, but is there a way I can get a clearer copy? It looks like the document was scanned and some of the text is fuzzy. Thanks!

I'm sorry but I was not able to recover the original file. Since the quality was not good I have deleted the item. I hope you can still use the pdf file that you have. Erin
