Storyboard Layout Options

Traditional Storyboard

A traditional storyboard is most like a comic strip. The cells are adjacent and do not have special formatting.

T-Chart

The T-Chart is perfect for comparisons, like “before and after” or “pros and cons”.

Chart

The chart is just like the grid, but the row title boxes are placed vertically.

Frayer Model

The Frayer Model ALWAYS has four cells. Typically, the titles of the cells are “Definition”, “Characteristics”, “Examples”, and “Non-Examples”, but you can change them however you like.
