Narrative Planner: Story Mountain

Plan your narrative from opening to resolution. Jot ideas in each section, then draft your story from the plan.

  1. 1.
    Opening: hook your reader. Introduce your narrator, characters and setting.
  2. 2.
    Build-up: what events lead to the problem? List them in the order they happen.
  3. 3.
    Climax: the biggest moment. What happens, and how does your character feel?
  4. 4.
    Resolution: how does it end, and what has changed for your character?
  5. 5.
    Show, don't tell: note two sensory details or lines of dialogue you will use.

Check your plan

  • My opening introduces the narrator, characters and setting
  • Events follow a clear order with transition words
  • I planned dialogue or sensory details to show feelings
  • My ending follows from the events of the story
