What this printable helps you do
Map relationships between places in a story using the author's details. Keep the reading available while you work and record page, chapter or paragraph references. The purpose is to explain your thinking through specific details, not to find a single response that every reader must share. Separate what the text states from your inference, then reread the surrounding passage to check whether the interpretation still fits.
What is on the page
A large upper sketch area provides room to map positions or connections. Three writing areas below hold supporting details. Use short labels in the sketch and repeat those labels in the notes to make the relationship clear. The four headings are Place relationships, Text details, Movement route, Question about space. Add a subject identifier and date at the top so the page can be understood when you return to it.
How to use it
Start with named locations and add connections only when the text supports them. Start with one example rather than filling the whole page at once. Use ordinary language you will understand later and add a reference where a note depends on another source.
A practical example
Two locations can be connected by a route without assuming a precise distance. This illustrates how to begin; the downloadable page is blank so you can use your own subject, materials and observations.
Review before you reuse it
Mark invented spacing or uncertain direction so the map does not overstate the text. Read the finished page from the perspective of someone who was not present. Clarify an abbreviation, mark an unanswered question and identify the next small action if one is needed.
