What are the scenes? Who are in the scenes? What is the dialogue? List the timings! It will help with the “waits”

When is this due? For Periods 3 & 4: 3/16 For Period 5: 3/19 Today! You must have your storyboard complete and your Scratch program begun by the end of class today. This is a lot of work! You cannot wait until the last minute. I expect to see progress every hour. You should have the idea for your entire story. Are you going to use the existing Sprites or find new ones? What will your stages be? I want to see your storyboard for the first scene with the timings.
