Narrative structure and story arc.
Storyboarding externalises the narrative planning process, making it visual and revisable before a single sentence is written. Students who plan stories with storyboards produce more complete, better-structured narratives than those who begin writing immediately, because planning and writing use competing cognitive resources.
