Writing Template

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Give your writers the chance to organize their thoughts before writing a story with this graphic organizer. Simple and easy to understand, the lines provided prompt elementary learners to write the main characters, main events, and conclusion of the story, allowing the entire outline to form before the first sentence has been written. A great stepping stone!
