What are storytelling maps?

A storytelling map is like a picture that shows you where a story happens and how the characters move around.

Imagine you have a favorite book about a group of friends who go on an adventure. A storytelling map would be like drawing their journey on a piece of paper, showing where they start, where they go, and maybe even some places they hide from monsters or find treasure.

Think of it like a treasure map, the kind pirates use. You might see a path, some islands, and an X marking where the treasure is buried. A storytelling map works in a similar way, it helps you see the story as if you're walking with the characters.

Sometimes, a storytelling map isn’t just about places, it might show how the story changes from one part to another. It's like having a special kind of picture that makes your imagination go wild and helps you understand where everything is happening in the story.

So next time you read a book or hear a tale, imagine drawing a storytelling map for it, it could be the most fun part of reading!
