STORYBOARD EXAMPLE

pdf of storyboard for KGA #2 which is also suitable to follow for your first KGA.
Note that all text is included in each frame, there is an illustration
for each "scene" or "page" within the presentation, and the animation is described.
If there were music, sound effects, and/or narration, this would also
be included underneath each frame as text descriptions.

If you are more comfortable drawing and scanning your storyboard, that's fine.
Just make sure to include all the components.
