Telling a Story with The Story Spine.

One of my favourite storytelling techniques we’ve learned so far in the Digital Storytelling Class is The Story Spine.

The Story Spine is a quick and easy-to-use template that literally tells you where you are in the story (the basic structure) and what should be happening at that point in time (the story function).

It’s up to you to fill in the blanks!

The Story Spine takes you and your main character on a journey from the beginning, middle, and end, to all the consequences in between!
