Simple Story Map
1. Once upon a time...This starts the story off and introduces our protagonist
2. And every day…This will set up how life was before the challenge or inciting incident
3. Until one day…This begins the action of the story with the challenge and the goal
4. And because of this…This introduces the barriers or obstacles the protagonist faces
5. And because of this…There could be several barriers that need introduction
6. Until finally…This ends the story with the resolution…your work and the donor’s impact!
