Climb Story Mountain To Discover Narrative Plot Structure

A story mountain, also known as a story arc or plot diagram, is a visual presentation of the format of a narrative. It is a tool commonly used to help students understand and create stories with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The story mountain typically consists of key elements that contribute to a well-structured and engaging narrative.

The template adheres to the following narrative structure:

  • orientation
  • rising action
  • climax
  • falling action
  • resolution.

How Can a Story Mountain Template Help My Students Write?

  1.  It provides a clear and visual structure, helping kids organise their ideas coherently. It guides them in developing a well-paced and structured narrative.
  2. By identifying and working with each segment of the story Mountain, children learn about the essential elements of a narrative, such as exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.
  3. Before diving into writing, kids can use the story mountain as a planning tool. They can outline key events and details for each section, making the writing process easier.
  4. The story Mountain reinforces the importance of a strong beginning, development of the plot, and a satisfying conclusion. This helps kids grasp the fundamentals of storytelling and enhances their narrative writing skills.
  5. While providing a structured framework, the story mountain also permits room for imagination. Kids can experiment with various plot twists, characters, and solutions within the structure.
