5th Grade, Nimmons, 11-06 – Video Game Storyboard

Published on

Announcements:

  1. The last day for any late work is Friday, January 8th!
    1. All work not completed by then will remain a zero.
    2. Any work assigned after then is due the same day.

Objective:

  • Students will complete a plan for a video (storyboard) to demonstrate their creativity and storytelling skills.

9:45-9:55: Start of Class

  1. Note: This is a sub plan as Mr. Smith is on a field trip with his majors.
    1. Make sure completed papers are handed in so credit can be earned, as this IS a graded assignment.
    2. Mr. Smith hates grading "busy work," so his promise to you is that he will never assign it. This is not "busy work." 
  2. The teacher in charge of your class should have a paper for you to complete. Read over the instructions.
  3. Students will log into their Canvas account, which is where they will hand in work at the end of class. (Note: This may be for make-up work only. Mr. Smith cannot guarantee that you will have access to a computer during this lesson.)
  4. Grading Rubric:
    • 4 Pts Storyboard dialogue has very few spelling and/or grammatical errors and is in the boxes BELOW the drawings.
    • 3 Pts Storyboard covers the assigned plot as determined on the front side of the worksheet.
    • 3 Pts Storyboard includes a title panel, credits panel, and differences in characters and camera angles to show progression of the story.
  5. Students will enter and go to the front of the class, where Mr. Smith will walk them through the assignment for the day.

9:55-10:35: Instruction & Student Work

  1. Your paper has two sides:
    1. One side has spots for 6 details. Use this to plan out your video game.
      1. Complete this side first.
    2. The other side is a storyboard. You will possibly remember how these work from 3rd and 4th grade.
      1. (If you don't remember, they're kind of like comic strips but the words go underneath the drawings, not in them.)
      2. Complete this side after you've finished your plan!

10:35-10:45: End of Class

  1. Once completed, they will shut down their computer and help someone else with this process (if needed) before lining up to return to class.

Missed Assignment?

  1. Parents: If you are reading this because your child was absent and they need to make up the work, look over the lesson above. The work should be submitted in Canvas.
  2. Note the end date for late work in the Announcements above. If the Canvas assignment is not accepting work, your child missed the deadline to hand work in!
