Top of page Description of the Scottish Storyline Method How to use the Scottish Storyline Method, written by central Oregon teachers Elaine Smith and Colleen Vallerga. The essential elements of a Storyline are setting, characters, and events or incidents. The unfolding of the story each day in the classroom provides a structure and logical connection to the curriculum. The difference between thematic teaching using a topic web and Storyline is the presentation of key questions which move the story along. In a topic web the activities are random, whereas the investigations which take place during a Storyline are in a logical sequence that is dependent upon the preceding episode.
