I once began writing a work of fiction and actually got over 300 pages written before I stopped and considered that although I knew the story, I was going to miss out on all of the nuances that would really make it a great story. Years later it is still shelved but I was able to go back a write notes to help me get back into it. In this instance, a story board would have been invaluable and from my experience much easier before hand. I would say that anything over four or five minutes some sort of story board would be invaluable so that the nuance I mentioned are not missed.<br /><br />As far as 'dissecting' your DST, I think it can be a great asset especially for classes who are learning how to use them. I terms of the story itself, I suppose at a glance I think that if someone were willing to look that closely at my DST, than I would be flattered that it had such an impact on them.

What I prefer to use are two particular tools: 1) story mapping, to make sure the key emotional elements of a story are present which is covered in my book; and 2) story tables, which I discovered right after my book went to the publisher. They accomplish much of what storyboards do, but are much easier to use.

I now feel more confident about my ability to teach my students how to execute a DST project and they can determine the level of sophistication.David Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026392427146254608noreply@blogger.com
