What is a story mountain?

A story mountain is a planning tool to support pupils when organising their ideas for a story before writing. It could also be used to plot the structure of narratives that the children have read, identifying what happens in the opening, the build-up, what the problem or dilemma is, how that is resolved and the ending. With older pupils, this could also be applied to chapters within longer books.
