They are templates of code ready to consume your web maps and online content. You can view examples here: http://storymaps.arcgis.com/en/app-list/
Some examples to spark your creativity can be found at the links below. These are great uses of multimedia and mapping which draw in the user! They also demonstrate some of the different layouts and functionality available through various templates.

After that exercise, get pencil and paper and draw the overall sections for your story map.
