Photosynthesis - The Light Reactions - Graphic Organizer - Storyboarding

I use storyboarding to teach the processes of protein synthesis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration.  I introduce my students to the concept of storyboarding by showing them this American Film Institute video, which can be found at either of these three web sites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWPjjoOFIu8  or

or

Here are the hand outs for Act I of Photosynthesis - The Light Reactions (see example key at the bottom of this post):

DIRECTIONS FOR STORYBOARD ACTIVITY—PHOTOSYNTHESIS—THE LIGHT REACTIONS

THE SAMPLE PICTURE BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE FOR SOME IDEAS IN PRESENTING YOUR INFORMATION.

1. NUMBER EACH STORY SQUARE IN THE PROPER SEQUENCE SO THAT
    THE READER CAN FOLLOW THE STORY.
    1 PT.

2. PUT IN AT LEAST EIGHT FACTS THAT HELP EXPLAIN PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
    1 PT. EACH

3. ON YOUR STORYBOARD, USE THESE VOCABULARY WORDS AT LEAST
    ONCE. MAKE THEM BOLD.
    PIGMENT
    CHLOROPHYLL(S)
    CHLOROPLAST(S)
    THYLAKOID(S)
    STROMA
    GRANA
    PHOTOSYSTEM(S)
    PHOTOSYNTHESIS
    1 PT. EACH

4. DEFINE THE ABOVE VOCABULARY WORDS ON THE BACK OF YOUR
    STORYBOARD.
    1 PT.EACH

5. IN THE FIRST SQUARE, INCLUDE THE SUMMARY CHEMICAL EQUATION
    FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
    1 PT.

6. IN THE LAST SQUARE, INCLUDE THE THREE MOLECULES THAT ARE THE
    END PRODUCTS OF THE LIGHT REACTIONS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
    1 PT.EACH

Here are the example storyboards:

In my next post, I will upload the graphic organizer for the Act II - Calvin Cycle of Photosynthesis.  And after that, I will be uploading the graphic organizers for cellular respiration and protein synthesis, as I get them completed.
