Storyboarding is way organizing and laying something out in sequence. This could be a great teaching tool. Students and teachers could this method to write stories. First pick the topic, then think of the " big ideas". Once you fill in the details you are ready to write. Teachers could use this method to help students who have trouble planning and writing their stories. Students could layout each step in the story before writing.

I think storyboarding is could to help students organize their thoughts and make writing easier. I think this would be great for students in elementary school but not for older grades.

The article you chose was the same one I selected. It was kind of difficult to find articles about storyboarding. However, I agree with you that storyboadring is a great technique for younger kids to organize their papers. I believe once your in highschool theres other approaches that could be taken in order to organize your thoughts.

In the article I chose it explained how storyboarding can be used for other subjects besides writing. By using the same idea of having 3 main topics and then continuing those with details work for science and history as well. To be able to understand the concepts of say, how electricity works or what major wars were fought for the US to form can be just as effective storyboarding.
