Write Your Own Picture Book Template
This template uses the storytelling frame (Rule 4) from Pixar’s 22 Rules of Storytelling.
Rule 4: “Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.”
Use it as a tool for letting students demonstrate their understanding of a topic by writing a picture book for younger students about the topic. Consider including a checklist of ideas or points that must be incorporated into the story along with any other requirements. The “Because of that, …” slides can either be increased or decreased as needed. Don’t miss the one-page planner tool at the end of this page.
