okay, so what exactly is a story board?
I used to assign these. Here were the directions:
1. Divide a page into six sections (like the little frames in a cartoon series in the newspaper). Students usually had two rows or three sections.
2. Decide on the six main actions in a story that would effectively tell the entire story: Setting/characters, first action, conflict, rising action, climax, conclusion are the most common.
3. In each section draw a picture and put a caption to illustrate that part of the story.
You can also go to www.google.com and search on the word storyboard and see some examples. The number of sections depends on 1) what you are illustrating and 2) what the purpose of the storyboard is.

A storyboard is a visual representation of a story or narrative, often used in film, animation, or video production to plan and organize the sequence of events. It is a series of illustrated panels or frames that outline the key scenes or actions of the story. Each panel typically includes a drawing or illustration along with a caption or description to show what is happening in that part of the story.
To create a storyboard, you can follow these steps:
1. Divide a page or a series of pages into sections, similar to the frames in a cartoon series. You can use a physical paper or a digital tool to do this.
2. Identify the six main actions or key moments in the story that effectively tell the entire narrative. These could include the setting and characters, the first action, the conflict, the rising action, the climax, and the conclusion. The specific actions will depend on the story you are illustrating.
3. In each section, draw a picture or illustration that represents that part of the story. Be sure to include relevant details and elements that help convey the story visually.
4. Add a caption or description to each panel, providing additional information or context about what is happening in that particular scene. This helps to clarify the narrative and guide the production process.
Remember, the number of sections or frames on your storyboard can vary depending on the complexity of the story and the purpose of the storyboard. It's also helpful to look at examples online, such as searching for "storyboard" on a search engine like Google, to get a better understanding of how different storyboards can be created and utilized.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the concept and process of creating a storyboard!
