Let's storyboard your ideas

Let's take your nugget of an idea and make it into something.

 Remember when we did the mind map? 
Take an idea and apply 

 Now take the ideas and storyboard your idea as a writer.

  • Where does the scene take place?
  • Who is in the scene?

  • How do they react?
  • What happens next?
  • Repeat as necessary 
  • What ends up as the "moral" of the story?

You will also do reflection of what you did...

Carey)                         Our stories help define our culture  We know who we are by the stories we tell each other and the stories that we accept.               We judge people, places, events, EVERYTHING based on our self-definition.                      Culture as a Skyscraper: High culture Low culture       ...
