Jack and the Beanstalk Story Map Explained

Jack and the Beanstalk is an English fairy tale about a poor boy who trades a cow for magic beans. The plant grows into a giant beanstalk that leads to a giant's castle. A useful map splits the story into its main parts: the setup, the climb, the encounters with the giant and the ending.

  • Setup: Jack, his mother, the cow and the magic beans
  • The climb: Jack climbs the beanstalk into the sky
  • The giant: his castle, his gold, his hen and harp
  • The escape: Jack chops down the beanstalk to end the chase
  • Themes: courage, cleverness and the reward for risk

Use the map to revise the plot in order or to remember each character's role. You can also generate a personalized map from your own notes with CogniGuide.
