INNOVATIVE WORK-2

 STORY BOARD 

As part of my phase-2 teaching practice session, I created a story board for the chapter 'A Shipwrecked Sailor' from eight standard Kerala English Reader textbook. Creating a storyboard involves breaking down the story into key scenes, each represented by a picture and accompanied by a brief text description. This storyboard  helped students visualize the narrative and understand the sequence of events, character actions, and key themes.

Benefits of Storyboard 

1.Visual Representation: Storyboards provide visual cues that help students better understand and remember the sequence of events and key details.

2.Enhances Comprehension and Retention: Breaking the story into individual scenes clarifies the plot and helps students follow the narrative more easily.

3.Interactive Learning: Storyboards make learning more interactive and fun, which can increase student engagement and motivation.

4.Group Work: Working on storyboards in groups encourages collaboration and discussion, allowing students to share their interpretations and insights.

5.Emotional Engagement: Seeing the emotions and experiences of characters visually represented can lead to a more profound emotional engagement with the story.

6.Immediate Feedback: Storyboards allow for immediate feedback, enabling teachers to address misconceptions and guide students in real-time.

7.Chronological Order: Storyboards help students organize the events of the story in chronological order, reinforcing their understanding of the narrative flow.

8.Summarization Skills: By summarizing each frame, students practice condensing information and identifying the most important elements of the story.
