Digital Video Camera Tutorial

I found a lesson for video students to plan and shoot a video tutorial explaining how to operate the digital video cameras which they will be using in class. The original lesson called for students to script their ideas as a homework assignment. I prefer to use storyboards. I think that it is more helpful to students to work from a storyboard, which includes a drawing, not just verbal descriptions of the shot. This is especially important in this assignment since students are instructed to pass their storyboards to another group who will follow them when shooting.

My modifications of the assignment included teaching a storyboarding lesson, changing the scripting to storyboarding in the homework assignment, and then just general language clean-up and overall clarification.
Here is the link.
