NON-LINEAR STORY?: Adam Davison's inquiry question
Adam Davison, an 8th Grade English Language Arts teacher at Juan Morel Campos Secondary School presented me with the question: "How can we guide our students in telling a non-linear, visual story?"
I wanted to break out of the tired old storyboard-based, beginning, middle and end form. Angela shared her work making books with 6 word stories (a la Hemingway's famous "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."), which led us to this idea in a roundabout way.
