My Summer Skills

A great way to explore the Storyboard Creator and learn about each other is for students to create storyboards that provide visual instructions for how to do their favorite skill or activity.

Students often use the summer to learn a new skill or enjoy using an old one. For example, over the summer, many people like to grow a garden, play a sport, sew or do an art project, fish, go camping, skateboard, play video games, cook, or even start a business!

In this activity, students will write and illustrate step-by-step instructions for how to do their favorite summer activity. They can share their instructions after they are completed making this an engaging lesson that helps facilitate getting to know one another and building classroom community.
