About This Lesson
While students are reading it is often helpful to use a storyboard that creates a character reference log. A character map allows students to recall important information on characters. When reading a play it is often little attributes that later return and become an important detail in the plot. Through the use of character mapping students will not miss this information and will be able to better follow along and catch subtle fine points which make reading more enjoyable.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I have used Storyboard That for my film studies and English classes, but always as digital storytelling. These ideas are very high engagement, critical thinking activities for the students.
