Activity Overview
Students will decide on what they think are the important parts in the text are and categorize them into the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Having students decide on the beginning, middle and end will help them break the text up and make it easier to choose one or two main events to create. Students can plan their ideas with a partner or individually and decide what main parts they would like to add to their storyboard.
The storyboard shows two examples for the beginning, middle and end, but you could set a number of frames for the students to use depending on the ability of the student or the length of the text.
