=Story Frame/ Map =  By Lorena Magana

=== A story frame/ map is a type of graphic organizer. It is a tool where the students can visually see the organization and structure of a story. The story map contains categories such as Title, Setting, Characters, Problem, Events, and Solution that are then filled out by the students using words. The story frame is a way for students to organize the main events of the story in a visual way. The various main events of the story are either pointed out by the teacher or decided upon by the students. ===

How is it done?

 * ===The teacher will first model how this is done by reading a story to the children. ===
 * ===The teacher will periodically stop reading and point out the main events. The teacher will write these events down in a map format. Then the teacher will choose about six events to draw on a frame format. ===
 * ===The teacher can use an overhead projector, or a bulletin board. ===

Why is it helpful?

 * ===This will benefit visual learners, and English language learner's. ===
 * ===Children will be able to work in partners, groups or as a whole class . This will allow them to gain cooperative learning skills. ===
