Storyboarding + Scripting

Today is about scripting your instructions. I recommend figuring out if your instructional video is detailing how to use an object, a mechanism, or a process, and then choose which set of questions in Figure 20.1 should guide your writing process (p. 550).

Remember: The storyboard draft you create is only a draft, but this draft will count toward your final grade for this project.

Here's a very simple but finished example. I encourage you to color yours, too, to work on your consistent visual aesthetic.
