Storyboard is a great way for students to come up with
interesting stories for characters in the classroom. This is also a great way
to teach characterization. By using Storyboard in a classroom, students can come
up with different characters and create a story for them. This is a great way
for students to get involved. I liked this website so much, I ended up
integrating it into my final lesson plan. Also, there are many different
options on this website, so you can use it as an informative lesson, a fun
lesson, or as a collaborative lesson. You can also use this website for
assessments; you can have them create a story board based on something they
just read; this is a fun way to assess the students, and they will not even
realize they are being tested. This makes it really versatile, and can be used
for so many different things. Overall, this is such a great tool to have in
your classroom. Students love it because it is fun, and teachers love it
because students are still learning, even though they are having fun!
Students creating stories based on material that is being learned is just a great way to get students to critically think. I went to an elementary school and taught a lesson where students listened to a piece of music, brainstormed about how it made them feel, and then collectively make a story based on those emotions. It went great and it was all due to the fact that they had ownership of the knowledge they were acquiring. The activity was about it made them feel and to create a story with that. Boom, authentic learning!
ReplyDeleteOne thing you did not clarify that I was a bit confused about was this website. What is it and is there a link? I googled storyboard with no luck - perhaps you explain what exactly this sites function is and provide a link to it!
