Prompt students to use facial expressions, body language, and relevant items in their drawings. Accurate scenes make the memory come alive and deepen engagement for both creator and viewer.
Organize a time for students to share their storyboards with classmates or family members. Encourage positive feedback and discussions about the memories. Sharing builds confidence and fosters classroom connections.
