Thing #3 Plan, Organize, and Synthesize Your Information

For elementary students, I like the TimeforKids.com printable instructions and graphic organizer for a storyboard. For some students, the ability to easily move around the frames is key, so for those students I would suggest they cut out the squares and arrange them on another piece of paper only to be glued in place when they are satisfied with the arrangement.

Students benefit from using a storyboard as a graphic organizer in that they can systematically sort through their thoughts, learn an organizational process, and easily rearrange ideas, images, video, and text before committing to a final product.
