Storyboarding-
Something that I really like about these weekly discussions is that some of the time the topic is brand new to me. Like last week, I hadn’t even heard of the topic. I get to learn from scratch. I looked up Storyboarding and loved the concept. I found an article that painted a very clear and precise picture in my mind about storyboarding and how it works.
The article started by explaining how elementary and even older students can get stumped and has a hard time starting a paper or story; I am very familiar with this problem. I myself have always thought the hardest part of starting a paper is actually starting. Storyboarding is a wonderful way to help a student gather their thoughts, brainstorm, and determine the organization of the paper they are going to write. I think storyboarding is a new, advanced, more creative way of outlines. I always hated making outlines, even though they helped, they seemed so boring. Storyboarding is a colorful type of outline, and I would imagine is much more effective than a traditional outline. The child can draw pictures, move things around, and visually see their story before their pencil even hits the paper.
I have never seen an actual storyboard or tried doing one, but would like to try. A way that maybe it could be taken to a higher level or further would be to add some audio. Maybe when a parent or teacher is brainstorming with the student they could tape the conversation so that it can help remind the students their ideas if they get sidetracked.

Storyboarding is a great idea. The way you explained it makes it sound much more exhilarating than simply writing an outline. I wonder what would happen if teachers decided to forget about the conventional ways of writing a paper; and instead, students could do a whole video on a particular topic. That would make school a lot more fun. Aferall, making learning enjoyable contributes to academic success. Therefore, learning objectives are met in the classroom, and the students are satisfied with their own accomplishments.

I like your idea of using storyboarding as the writer. I had only thought of storyboarding to get information from a story students read in order, never to get ideas in order to write a story. I think that for some students storyboarding will make learning more enjoyable.
