StoryboardThat will let my student readers and writers easily create what they see in their mind’s eye. I know storyboards allow my students to show how well they comprehend informational and literary texts through writing and graphics. StoryboardThat will help my students bring their creative brainstorms alive as part of the writing process -- whether illustrating a factual process, analyzing a character, idea, or plot. StoryboardThat will give my students equal access to create visual dialogues no matter their graphic skills. My students will relate to using a guided visual format either on their school-provided laptop or even their ever-present cellphones. With StoryboardThat, students simply point, click and move around appropriate graphics -- symbols, people, objects, and text bubbles. Students who normally struggle with writing can now create interesting and thoughtful vivid stories on their own. For students who write well, StoryboardThat can allow them to write and express dialogue in fiction or summarize and condense informational texts. Last year I used the free, trial version of the program to let students storyboard a creative, original destruction myth of their own making. Despite the limited graphic choices and panels (and without how-to guidance from me), students were able to independently create, collaborate, and present their original myth stories that tied into longer writing. Building on this experience, with a funded teacher subscription this year, I will be able to share StorboardThat with my classes and hope to create group projects that engage my students and let them experiment in a fun, supportive and collaborative way.
