=Explanation of resource =

This resource is a storyboard that students will use to guide them in creating their own storyboards for a campaign on the health effects of smoking. Storyboards are a form of visual literacy that enable students to develop a story or presentation through images and short descriptive sentences. They provide a simple means of understanding one element in relation to another and of demonstrating the connections that students make between various ideas and concepts.  Although this storyboard image does not have a smoking related theme, it is useful as it demonstrates a correlation between the image, desired camera angle and text. Students who have not encountered a storyboard before can use this model to guide them, noting factors such as the length of the writ ﻿ ten text, and the detail of the pictures.

=Relevance to outcome =

This resource allows for the integration of both literacy and PDHPE outcomes. The storyboard image provides students with the opportunity to view and discuss the different ways in which texts are structured to achieve purpose in line English outcomes, whilst also enabling them to identify the organizational structures and patterns that are common in spoken language (NSW Board of Studies (English Syllabus), 2007). Encouraging students to think of their own topic in relation to storyboard presentation allows them to apply their knowledge of smoking and its health effects in a structured, straightforward way to synthesize group ideas, subsequently providing the opportunity for group interaction communication; both of which relate to PDHPE outcomes. This resource prompts students to recognize the depth of information required when developing storyboards as the basis of a text type and further provides them with opportunities to discuss effective and non-effective methods of demonstrating clarity of thought and process.

=Aspects of literacy to be explored = The source is especially helpful in writing instruction and text construction and could be used in formatting important points for essays, or to summarise texts (Scholastic, 2011). In this instance, students may use their persuasive writing work from previous lessons to help them in summarizing the main points that they want to address in their advertisement. This allows students to see the relationship between their storyboards and the paragraphs of texts, breaking it down so that the main ideas are highlighted.
