This resource contains visuals of story elements (e.g., character, place, time, plan, action, success, etc…) and story structures (different story paths/plot lines of story elements).
You can use these visuals and images alongside any story or picture book!
This resource includes five main parts:
1 – Story Element Cards (24 cards)
2 – Story Element Images (each element is saved as a separate color image so you can use them on your own worksheets, activities, books, etc…)
3 – The Periodic Table of Story Elements Visual/Poster
4 – Story Path/Structure Visuals (4 different structures)
5 – Story Structure Writing Worksheets/Graphic Organizers (4)
In addition, I’ve included a summary of some key story grammar research, a few sheets to make data collection easier, a poster, and a coloring page.
The included story elements are: character, place, time, problem, surprise, liftoff, goal, plan, action, oops, feeling, thought, dialogue, journey, success, solution, landing, wrap-up, backstory, beginning, middle, and end.
The story structures that I include visuals of are: a simple problem/solution story, a traditional story grammar plot, a “try, try again” story, and a “follow the plan” story. But, with the included images, you can make a story element path for any story or picture book you read!
The entire resource is 38 pages in total.
Note: You may not resell or reshare any materials you make using these story elements! They are for your own personal use with your own caseload ONLY.
These story element and story structure visuals are the same ones I included in my story units, like Searching for Home. If you love this resource, I know you’ll love those too!
