Objective: Create a 3 cell storyboard that describes and illustrates 3 interesting facts about Wyoming.
Student Instructions:
Help students structure their information by providing graphic organizers, such as a simple fact collection chart or Venn diagram. These tools let students neatly record and compare Wyoming facts before creating their storyboard.
Direct students to age-appropriate sources like state websites, children's encyclopedias, and library books. Encourage them to double-check each fact for accuracy before adding it to their storyboard.
Demonstrate with an example by choosing a Wyoming fact and showing how to write a summary and select fitting illustrations. Students learn how to transform facts into creative, visual stories.
Invite students to use diverse art materials or digital tools for their storyboard. Remind them to choose scenes, characters, or items that best capture the spirit of each Wyoming fact.
Create a showcase time for students to present their storyboards to the class or in small groups. This builds confidence and lets students learn more Wyoming facts from each other.
Wyoming has many fun facts for kids, including being the least populous state, home to Yellowstone National Park—the world's first national park, and being the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869.
You can have students create a 3 cell storyboard where each cell highlights a different interesting fact about Wyoming, using headings, short descriptions, and illustrations to make learning fun and memorable.
A quick activity is to ask students to research and illustrate three fun facts about Wyoming, such as its nickname, famous parks, and historical firsts, in a simple storyboard format.
Wyoming is known as the ‘Equality State’ because it was the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869, setting an important precedent in U.S. history.
Yellowstone National Park, located in Wyoming, is special because it was established in 1872 as the world’s first national park, known for its geysers, wildlife, and stunning natural beauty.
