Creating a Photo "Storyboard" Here’s a fun way to teach your children to use a camera to create a piece of original art worthy of the name. Have them make a photo layout comprised of several different scenes—just like a commercial advertising storyboard.      Start out with an idea, such as picturing your child hitting a baseball. Have the child write copy for a thirty-second "commercial." (Writing copy to fit the clock is a great discipline in itself.) Have the child read the copy out loud while you check your watch.      Next, have him or her outline five or six scenes. The first might be one of junior grabbing a bat. The second: stepping up to the plate. The third: waiting for the pitch. The fourth: making contact with the ball. The fifth: running the bases. Then have him or her actually go out and photograph the scenes to illustrate them.      The children can either work independently on this project, or they can split up into teams. When the photos come back from processing, mount them on a piece of cardboard or heavy paper. Then have the child type out or write the copy for each scene and paste it beneath the appropriate photo.      The results are both a stimulating and challenging project for children, who watch thousands of television commercials each year (some of which are more entertaining than the programs, themselves!). It’s a fun, exciting way to pass the time and stimulate creativity.
