Storyboard

A storyboard can be used to show growth, change or development. Each step is a separate image that shows how the subject changes over time.

Why use storyboards in the classroom?

  • To show how something is made, as in a recipe or craft activity.
  • To explain how a process occurs (such as how technology works).
  • To show how objects or places have changed historically.
  • To record environmental or geographic changes.
  • To summarize a narrative.
  • To plan a short film or video.
