 * Tuesday**: Storyboard Creation

In //And to Think That I Saw it On Mulberry Street,// Marco dreams up a story to tell his father on his way home. If you had been in Marco's position, what would you have dreamt of? Use Kidspiration to create a story chart of your tale. In the first box, tell of what you really see, then in each box after, describe the changes occurring to the characters just like Marco did. You can either start with the horse and cart as used in the book, or use anything you can dream up. Your storyboard must contain at least five (5) boxes. Save the document with your name as the title.
