Storyboard That {Prewriting}

Storyboard That is a great activity for prewriting that allows students to focus their ideas into a condensed picture form. They can choose the scene and characters as well as the way that they add the text into the blocks.

Use this tool to have students organize their thoughts before they write a paper for your class. I have found that my students get better ideas and are more creative when they have a chance to put their thoughts on paper using minimal text, but lots of pictures. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and maybe those 1,000 words could turn into a great paper for your students. From here, they can write a rough draft and then complete their final draft.

Try it out & let me know what you think,
