Digital Narrative Storyboard

Read the mini-story, investigate how its narrative works, then plan an original digital storyboard. Use captions, images and dialogue to make each frame clear. Your story may be realistic, mysterious or adventurous.

Read: The Last Signal

At dusk, Chloe was packing up after helping at a community garden on the edge of town. A tiny blue light blinked from beneath a rain barrel. She found a battered radio there, still crackling with static. Then a voice whispered, “If anyone can hear me, the creek is rising.” Chloe recognised the voice: it belonged to Mr Chen, who was checking the footbridge upstream. She grabbed her torch and ran to the creek. The usual stepping stones had vanished under muddy water. Across the stream, Mr Chen waved from the far bank, beside a gate that had come loose and was letting water rush towards a row of garden sheds. Chloe could not cross safely. She used the radio to ask Mr Chen to move away from the gate, then called emergency services and gave them the location. While they waited, she spotted a long-handled garden rake. From solid ground, she hooked the gate’s rope and pulled it towards a fence post. The water slowed. Soon, help arrived and secured the gate properly. The next morning, Chloe and Mr Chen replaced the radio’s cracked battery cover and left it in a waterproof box by the garden. It was ready for the next person who might need to send a signal.

Unpack the narrative

Use details from “The Last Signal” to support your thinking.

1.Which option best describes the story’s opening?
  • It introduces Chloe, the garden setting and an unusual radio.
  • It explains how the emergency services solve the problem.
  • It reveals that the creek is safe and the danger has passed.
  • It jumps straight to the next morning.
2.What is the main problem Chloe must respond to?
3.Put these events in the order they happen by writing 1–4 beside each: Chloe uses the radio to contact Mr Chen; Chloe discovers the radio; help arrives and secures the gate; Chloe spots the loose gate and Mr Chen across the creek.
4.Which action is the turning point—the moment that most directly changes the danger? Explain why.
5.True or false: Chloe crosses the flooded creek to reach Mr Chen. Correct the statement if it is false.
TrueFalse
6.How does the final paragraph resolve the immediate problem and hint at a lasting change?

Plan your digital narrative

Design an original three-frame story. Keep each frame focused on one important moment, and make the cause-and-effect links easy to follow.

7.Invent a protagonist and an unusual object, message or discovery that starts an adventure. Give each a memorable detail.
8.Choose a specific setting and explain how it could make the problem harder or more interesting.
9.Plan your three frames. For each, note the key event, one visual detail and either a caption or a short line of dialogue.
10.Your middle frame feels confusing because the reader cannot see why the protagonist takes a risky action. What could you add to make the cause clearer?
11.Write one short reflection: which part of your plan is strongest, and what detail would you revise to make the story easier to follow?
