"Show What You Know" with Storyboard That!

Students in Rebecca Strong’s 6th grade science class at Cario Middle School are used to using creative ways to review the science standards at the end of a unit. She has had them make a visual display called “Show What You Know,” where the students must demonstrate their knowledge on specific topics using diagrams, pictures, and written explanations. While these paper-and-pencil posters have their place in her toolbox, she was anxious to try something new. Her students used “Storyboard That” to create 6-
frame comic strips in which they incorporated the animal unit standards into creative review projects. The students LOVED the creativity that the Chromebooks/Storyboard That afforded them. Ms. Strong loved the enthusiasm that her students had for finding creative ways to demonstrate their learning.
