Support your students in organising and sequencing their ideas with our versatile Storyboard Graphic Organiser Templates! This flexible set of templates is ideal for use across all learning areas, helping students visually plan, retell or present information in a structured storyboard format. Whether used for narrative writing, science experiments, history timelines or HASS presentations, this organiser supports planning, comprehension and communication through simple, student-friendly layouts.

Each template features a series of boxes arranged in sequence, allowing students to sort their ideas into a logical order. Two layout versions are included - offering choice for different types of tasks or stages of learning - and each version is available with blank boxes, 12mm lines or 9mm lines. This range makes the resource suitable for a wide variety of year levels and learner needs, from drawing and labelling to extended written responses.

Storyboard Graphic Organiser Templates also include editable text boxes so that you can tailor the headings and layout to your specific unit, topic or focus. Use for individual tasks, paired planning, or collaborative small group work. The simple format supports both early concept development and detailed structured writing, making it a powerful tool in any classroom toolkit.
