Answer 1

I don’t know which story you want mapped. Which story should I fill this out for? (You can give the title or paste the text.)

While you decide, here’s a ready-to-use blank story map plus a completed example (filled for the folktale “The Three Little Pigs”) so you can see how to fill each part.

Blank story map
- Setting
- Where:
- When:
- Major characters:
- Minor characters:
- Plot / central problem:
- Event 1 (inciting incident / early action):
- Event 2 (rising action / complication):
- Event 3 (climax / turning point):
- Outcome / resolution:

Example filled map — “The Three Little Pigs”
- Setting
- Where: Countryside and the pigs’ three houses (straw, sticks, bricks)
- When: Once upon a time / unspecified past
- Major characters:
- Three little pigs
- Big bad wolf
- Minor characters:
- (Sometimes) mother pig; neighbors; woodcutter (in some versions)
- Plot / central problem:
- The wolf wants to eat the pigs and tries to blow down their houses; the pigs must survive by building safe shelter.
- Event 1:
- Each pig leaves home to build a house. The first pig builds with straw (quickly) and the wolf easily blows it down and eats or chases the pig (depending on version).
- Event 2:
- The second pig builds a house of sticks. The wolf blows that down as well; the second pig runs to the third pig’s house.
- Event 3:
- The third pig builds a strong house of bricks. The wolf cannot blow it down. He tries various tricks (chimney, fire) and ultimately fails; in many versions he is burned or runs off.
- Outcome:
- The pigs in the brick house are safe; the wolf is defeated/escapes; the moral about hard work/planning is emphasized.

If you tell me the story you want mapped, I’ll fill this template specifically for that story.
