Part 1: 

Storyboard Presentation

Create a storyboard that details your vision for how you plan to tell the story that will convey your message. Use the storytelling principles youve learned throughout this course to structure your presentation in an engaging, persuasive way that will captivate your audiences attention. While you dont have to follow the order of information outlined in these instructions, you do need to incorporate all of these items into your presentation or speaker notes:

• Target Audience and Story Message Overview: Provide an overview of the story message (what it is, why its important, etc.) and an overview of the target audience youre looking to reach.
  • Identify the communication goal of your story and the storys overarching message.
  • Describe the target audience for the story (its demographic, geographic, and psychographic details) and the data sources you used to research your target audience.
  • Justify how your story relates to the cultural experiences of the audience and how your message could influence these experiences.
  • Explain why this story will grab the audiences attention.

• Story Outline: Outline the story you will be telling to convey your message.
  • Identify how you intend to present your story in terms of delivery and style, including the following:
    • Its genre (fiction, nonfiction, or a combination)
    • Its style (documentary, animation, etc.)
  • Develop key narrative elements and story structure, including the following:
    • Characterization (for primary and main characters)
    • The story world (its location, time period, environment, cultural attributes, etc.)
    • Important plot points with a story arc, including an opening scene (to grab attention), inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action (denouement), and ending.

• Channels, Cultural Representation, and Story Effectiveness Analysis:
• Channels: Analyze how your story will be shared with your audience.
  • Define what channels youre planning to use to distribute your communication message.
  • Construct a rationale for why these channels are most appropriate for reaching your audience.
• Cultural Representation: Analyze how your story will likely be interpreted based on the audiences culture.
  • Describe how your audience could interpret your message based on its portrayal in the story. Focus on how audience culture can affect how your message is interpreted.
  • Identify any potential areas for cultural misrepresentation or bias in your story. Be sure to identify what personal bias (either positive or negative) you encountered during the creation of your story.
  • Provide recommendations for reducing or eliminating bias and cultural misrepresentation in your storys portrayal. Explain your rationale as to why these recommendations will reduce or eliminate bias.
• Story Effectiveness: Analyze how well the story communicates your message. Include the following information as part of your analysis:
• Evaluate how your story aligns with the best practices of one or more communication theories.
• Compare and contrast the strengths and limitations of conveying your message using a story.
• Emphasize the call to action. As a result of receiving your message, what should your audience understand or do in order to achieve the communication goal?
• Analyze the persuasive strategies you incorporated into your story (for example, pathos, logos, and ethos appeals; anecdote; conversational language; levity and humor; or contrast) and your rationale for doing so.
