But it’s also where children stare at a blank page and get stuck. It has to engage the reader, of course, but also needs to establish tone, setting, character, plot or any combination of these and more. The opening of a story is hugely important. “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” “As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.” “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. Each one can even be edited quickly and easily if you want colours to match a certain theme for your story writing activity.Īnd finally, if visual storytelling is on the cards this resource will come in handy. Or, if you want something a bit more colourful, this collection is for you. This one looks at transitioning from one ‘scene’ to the next and looks at the tone of each scene including any music, sound effects or voiceover that might be added. If you’re looking for something a bit more for your storyboarding needs, there’s an absolutely huge collection of different printable PDFs here. There are seven layouts in total here, three portrait and four landscape, with differing numbers of panels and space for students to write. It doesn’t matter how extravagant a creative writing lesson you have planned, at some point you’re going to need these. Simple, straightforward, printable storyboard templates. This KS1 and KS2 writing template pack contains a range of templates to support children with their story idea, planning stories and other written work, and they’re ideal for helping pupils to organise their thoughts.
One thing is constant though, a good story needs good structure, and these resources and activities will help your children develop the skills required to add that foundation to their creative writing. Having a beginning, middle and end may be a staple of a story, but alone it’s not enough.Īs a very basic way of explaining a three-act structure it does work, but there are many ways to tell a story and write great fiction.
