Story Grid

Rrrrrrrrrr! Do you hear that story generating machine?

Eliminate writer's block in any grade with this simple resource that makes creating characters, settings, and plots for stories and plays easy for students.

Using this Story Grid, students can become prolific creative writers with a multitude of ideas. Really!

Soap opera and sit-com writers often use a story grid to continually produce ideas.

End complaints that kids don’t know what to write about—even completing the grid is fun.

A completely blank Story Grid is included, along with a partially completed grid as an example.

The enjoyable sample story can be read as a model.

Students can create serious or funny stories and plays from this grid. It simply makes ideas much easier to generate.
