My group chose third grade science as our standard for our video project. We thought that science would be a fun subject to cover, considering the context of the assignment. We chose third grade because the majority of our group is looking to teach that specific grade, so we felt that it would be appropriate to work with the associated standards. We are going to do a cheesy version of a child science explorer show. In our video a struggling student is whisked away by a knowledgeable explorer who teachers her all about the desert, oceans, and rainforests. I thought that the storyboard process was a necessary step in creating a video. If we hadn’t done the storyboard we probably wouldn’t have come up with half of the ideas. Making a storyboard forces you to have to picture your ideas and concepts and from there the script kind of just falls into place.
