Historical Story Collection Sheet
Characters (Decide how each character will look, speak, and act. Keep the time
period of your story in mind at all times!)
Setting (Describe the time and place of your story.)
Main Action (What action or event will your character participate in? The details in
this part may or may not be true, but they must be believable. The main action should
include a problem to be solved.)
Story Scenes (What things will your character be doing in this story: eating,
hunting, exploring?)
Purpose (Decide on a form—you may use the basic story form or try something
different, like diary entries or a series of letters.)
