Lesson 1 - Activity 3 - Storyboarding

It is very important to storyboard your comic before using Comic Life as the program does not have text or images built into the program. All of the content work must be done prior to going to the computer.

Our Performance task is linked to Ministry expectations, so please select a curriculum area you can create a comic about and storyboard it (science and social studies are great subjects to integrate in the K-8 curriculum!).
Attached are two different blank versions of possible storyboards you many want to use.

When storyboarding, it is not important to focus upon the drawings - stick figures are fine. The main idea is to capture the content, (expectations), and incorporate the new conventions and related images to communicate effectively to your readers. I've attached a completed video storyboard to give you an idea of how simple the drawings should be.

Remember to include the conventions you just learned in your storyboard.

Please have your storyboard ready for next Tuesday to share.
