My first article assessment is on chapters 5 & 6 of Jason Ohler's book on digital storytelling. Chapter 5 is entitled, "Thinking about the Story", and Chapter 6 is called, "Applying Story Maps".

As author Jason Ohler points out, storytelling is present in several different types of media including: oral storytelling, books, jokes, movies and digital stories.

Ohler outlines and describes the components of a strong story core, the importance of story maps and how to apply them.
