Story Planner: Character, Setting, Problem, Solution

Plan each part of your story in the boxes below. When every box is full, use the plan to write your story on lined paper.

  1. 1.
    Characters: who is in your story? Describe your main character (name, age, what they are like).
  2. 2.
    Setting: where and when does your story happen? Use words that paint a picture.
  3. 3.
    Problem: what goes wrong? What does your character want or need?
  4. 4.
    Solution: how is the problem solved at the end?
  5. 5.
    Order words I will use: first, next, then, after that, finally. Write your first sentence here.

Check your plan

  • I described my character with details
  • My story has a problem and a solution
  • I used order words like first, next and finally
  • My ending wraps up the story
