Ch 6. Reflection "Applying Story Maps: Seeing the Core, Mapping the Story."


How Ohler Teaches Story Mapping
How I Teach Story Mapping


Pros: Character driven--story mapped should demonstrate how a problem was discovered and solved and how that process changed the main character.
Pros:  Helps students understand how a story is sequenced and how events drive a story through conflict.  A story core could be discovered through this process.
Cons: Students needs to have pinpointed what their story core is before mapping.
Cons: Plot driven--the stories mapped tend to be a boring telling of events from sun-up to sun-down.
