Idea Sheet

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a template designed to assist in the development and presentation of story ideas. It provides a structured format for outlining two different story concepts, with columns labeled “Story Idea #1” twice, likely due to a typographical error that should read “Story Idea #2” for the second column. Each story idea has space to articulate a theme statement, list sources, and pose questions relevant to the development of the narrative. The layout facilitates the organization of thoughts and materials pertinent to each potential story.

The worksheet is intended to teach students the initial stages of crafting and pitching a story idea. It guides them through the process of conceptualizing the core message of their story, identifying research or inspirational sources, and formulating key questions that need to be addressed in their narrative. This exercise is designed to encourage thorough preparation and clarity of thought before beginning the writing process. By using this pitch sheet, students learn how to organize and communicate their story ideas effectively.
