Unit III--Lesson III--Using Digital Stories with Students: Part II--Storyboarding

From KNILT

If you remember back to Unit II, we used a storyboard when creating our “How to Grow a Flower” digital stories. The storyboard breaks up the script into scenes. With the storyboard, students can section pieces of the script and sketch images that will be used with each piece. If you are not sure how this looks, take a look again at our File:How to Grow a Flower Storyboard.doc. Notice that the text is broken up into scenes, and the image for each scene is right next to it. Having the storyboard ready, in Unit II, made it very easy for us record our narrations with each image using the Microsoft Photo Story Program.


Once students have completed their storyboards, they can find and save images that will take the place of their sketches. To find images, students can use any of the search engines: Google, Yahoo, MSN, and etc.


After students have found the images they need, they can use the process we discussed in Unit II--Lesson I--Importing Images with Microsoft Photo Story. If you need to revisit this topic, click the link. To get back to this section, hit the back button on your browser.


When students finally have the storyboard and images complete, they can begin to enter their stories onto the Microsoft Photo Story Program. As we experienced in Unit II, this will enable them to combine their pictures and script, along with movement and music from the Photostory Software. The end result will be a wonderfully crafted story that captures the audience.
