Story structure: Kabob

A template for getting started with the kabob story structure

By Esri's StoryMaps team

What is the kabob story structure?

The kabob is a list-driven storytelling structure. The narrative consists of a central theme or message supported by multiple examples or case studies. These examples are typically visualized using thematic maps, and are often sequenced together using map choreography. Each example is of equal importance, and ties back to the story's overarching message.

What are some common use cases for this structure?

Telling data-rich stories that rely on repeated examples to reinforce patterns or trends.
Creating geographic listicles or stories where multiple examples hold equal weight.

How can I use this template?

This template is intended to serve as a starting point for kabob-style stories. While it contains a basic skeletal structure and placeholder content, it does not feature all of the various content types that can be effectively incorporated into kabob-style stories. After duplicating this template, you can adapt it to suit your own storytelling needs.
