         <description><![CDATA[Students create an interactive story map using a large piece of paper divided into sections for characters, setting, problem, and solution. Students work in pairs to fill in each section with drawings and labels. For younger grades (K-2), provide simple templates with pictures to guide them. For older grades (3-8), include additional elements like theme and plot development.<br><br>Materials needed:<br>- Large paper<br>- Markers/colored pencils<br>- Story elements template]]></description>
