Storyboards

Today I introduced a new planning tool to the students; the storyboard. The aim is to get children to plan their stories in sequential order and to get them thinking about the details in the small moments that occur in their lives. For some breaking a story idea into three parts was tricky and needed some thought. Questions posed were, how did you get to where you were going? What did the environment look like that you were in? What happened? Who were you with? We will be turning our story boards into books, it will be interesting to see how they develop over the next few days. We all enjoyed sharing our storyboards with each other at the end of the session.
