Mountain adventure Story Planner

This is a story planning sheet for a ‘Mountain’ themed adventure story which I have used on my author visits to Primary Schools. It has proved very popular with teachers and pupils alike. Rather than spend time trying to think of story elements such as characters’ names, settings and plots etc…your pupils can just choose from a set of options. The children, by linking together different elements, can create a quick plot and can be writing their stories in minutes. This resource is especially helpful for reluctant writers, SEN children and those that just lack ideas!
