Storyboard

Hello everyone!

In this post, I am going to talk about the storyboard, the goals, and the future purpose of this activity.

My group did a storyboard they are going to represent each scene and record it. 

Our storyboard is called "Seven Wonders of the World" the film is about three friends Eva María, Eva, and, Marta. Eva María and Marta are bored in the kitchen, they don't know what to do. Eva comes to the kitchen with a brilliant idea. She has three magic balls that allow them to go wherever they want. Taking advantage of them, they will travel and visit the Seven Wonders of the World: The Great World of China, Petra, Christ of Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, Colosseum, and Taj Mahal. Each one is going to visit two of them and will explain to them a little bit of each monument. In addition, they will tell us the continent where it is located and the city. Let's discover each of the seven wonders of the world. 

Each girl will take two magic balls and will visit different monuments and, in the end, they will meet again in the last destination. 

The teacher has used a template to create the storyboarding. They used the emojis from Bitmoji, images from Pixabay, and Word to make the final images for each scene. 

The aims of this activity are:

- To learn the continents. 

- To learn about the Seven Wonders of the World. 

- To recognize the country where the monuments come from. 

- To develop digital competencies.

- To improve listening skills. 

- To develop a critical and open attitude towards other cultures different from ours. 

Here I let the storyboard that we have created. In the storyboard, you can see the title of our film and each scene and a brief description of each scene. Also, in each scene are different dialogues and different backgrounds of each monument of the Wonders World.    

We will watch the video in the classroom and then we will show them the different continents and countries on the map. After they will learn about each monument, we will play an interactive game in which they will have to stand up and point to the country, continent, or the monument. Depending on what the teacher asks them to do and they will have to tell their classmates the other things (name of the monument, country or continent). For example, the teacher says: "point to the Colosseum" and the student will have to point on the map where the Colosseum is, and tell the rest of the class the continent and the country where the monument is.

With this project, students will be divided into seven groups. Each group will be one Wonder of the World. They will have to search for information about the monument and present it to the rest of the class. 

I hope you like it and see you in my next post.
