2. The Steps on Applying Storyboard Technique
The steps on applying storyboard technique in teaching reading narrative text are:
- Instruct the students to divide blank white paper into many four to six sections.
- Ask the students to read narrative text given by the teacher. - Assign the students to re-create key events on the text into storyboard in 20 to
30 minutes. The students may allow using markers, crayon, and colored pencils, or they just use regular pens and pencils.
- After the students have finished their storyboard, ask them to share their drawings with their classmates, so they can discuss, both similarities and
differences, how they visualize the events of the text.
- Let the students make correction on their storyboard after having discussion with their classmates.
