Creative Writing Story Mountain Resource (KS2)

This is a great resource which I’ve used for multiple creative writing tasks, particularly short stories.

It includes the key elements of a story, with prompts and a brief description of what is usually in each.

Once the scaffolding is used, I often encourage my higher attainers to think how they could move away from the scaffold, perhaps using the ending as a beginning for example.

Elements of the story mountain:

1. Opening
2. Build Up
3. The Problem
4. Resolution
5. Ending
