Story boards are just like cartoon or funnies in the paper. They are simply a series of pictures/words/ideas in rectangles or squares, which are arranged in the order that you want the story to be developed and told. A couple of easy methods that I have had the students use in the past are;
1) Poster board divided up into rectangular sections
2) Individual pieces of paper or card board arranged in order
3) Divide the chalk board or dry marker board into sections
Remember that story boards will almost always change as you develop and re-develop the story - so, make sure you can drop or add each piece of the story individually. I have found that starting with bigger pieces of paper and transferring down to smaller pieces helps scope the story line. We usually start brainstorming BIG dreams that eventually are forced into smaller stuff - due to a lack of resources and/or time. Also, I don't want to stifle creative minds right off the bat. Eventually, once it's all put together the way you want it - someone can "pretty it up" and reformat it to best fit the way you would like it presented.
I agree - don't forget to allocate time to each section (we allocate frames) - so that you don't exceed the time allotment and it also helps force you to develop sound bites (music or words) and movement timing that matches. The time allocation starts out as a target - it also is rearranged as you go along.
