"This lively new book introduces the power of the storyboard in the creative process -- from brainstorming ideas to developing, revising, and finalizing stories. It describes an eight-stage process that shows, step-by-step, how students can create unique, action-filled pages for their stories and books. Planning suggestions, glossaries of visual terms, and ready-to-copy storyboards are all a part of the active process described."--Publisher.
