Teaching Adjectives
By Jessica Miller
As an ENL teacher, I've been using and experimenting with Storyboard That to explore the many ways it can be used to teach. It isn't just a way to tell stories and make comics; it has a variety of layout options that are perfect for creating engaging activities for students. When teaching about adjectives, I use the various storyboard layouts to reinforce different ways of learning.
