A story map is a graphic organizer that helps students break a narrative into its core elements: characters, setting, problem or conflict, the main events (beginning, middle, and end), and the resolution or solution. Teachers use story maps during reading to build comprehension and during writing to plan an original story. A story map graphic organizer gives students a clear visual structure so they can see how a narrative fits together. Figviz turns a short description into a ready-to-print story map in seconds, with no drawing or design work required.

Figviz will draw the layout with empty labeled boxes and ruled lines you can print and fill in by hand, or annotate digitally in any PDF editor. Blank story maps are ideal for guided reading groups, independent practice, and co-creating a map with the class while you read a story together.
