Differentiated Instruction - Using a Story Map

Story Maps 

  • Scaffold your instruction by providing prompts for each section on your map. For example, in the "Beginning" box of your map, write in prompts such as: Who are the main characters? Where does the story take place?
  • Differentiate which story map to give to which students. The beginning-middle-end format is the simplest; other more complex maps can be used with more advanced students.
  • Model this strategy using a book with very clear components to help students understand each component.
