Storyboard That is a great tool to use with many different subjects and standards. Some ideas I thought I will use it for are sequencing, re-telling, and story elements; I will even use it to have the students study illustrations and creating their own story board to let their illustrations extend the text of their written stories. Here’s one of my storyboards:
With Storyboard That I would create a story on the storyboard, but mine wouldn’t be in order. Then I would have the printed version of the storyboard where the students would then sequence the story in the correct order.
I would even have the class use the storyboard to re-tell a story that they read or was read aloud. From here I could look with them at their storyboards and see what is missing, what is done perfect, and do any events need changed around.
Storyboard That is great because the images are pre-generated, it is simple to navigate and change the storyboard cells, and it is creative and lets the students customize the characters provided.
Assessment:
When it comes to assessment I would use Storyboard That as my assessment tool. I would use it to have students visually ratel a story (as rebelling is a standard), predict the end of a story, or illustrate a story. I would also use this website to create models of my expectations for my students to turn to for help.
