As this Edutopia article, Using Storyboards in the Classroom, points out,
"Storyboards, a fundamental tool for filmmakers, are universally adaptable to any grade and content. With this flexible strategy, teachers can help students organize ideas, break down concepts, and visualize their learning."
The article outlines several simple, but effective, ways to incorporate storyboards into a number of classroom routines - at the beginning, middle, or end of any lesson. It also includes a link to some attractive, free-to-print graphic organizers from Canva.
Film techniques are not just for film studies! Imagine beginning with a visual primary source analysis, then filling in the details or context through research, then telling the story of that event or character through storyboarding.
