Designer: Create the Vision

Designing a product with purpose, intention, and for a specific audience is the job of the storyboard - aka the screenplay. 

The Vision comes to life through the plan  first. Thinking is elevated to the highest levels of Blooms as students map out the essence of their story and what their audience will take away from the final production. 

Creating the StoryBoard is an essential part of the process.
