Students recreate favourite books
Storyboards on displayed at the George Town library
(CNS Local Life): Books were recently brought to life by students taking part in the annual storyboard competition held at a reading fair in George Town Public Library Saturday, 11 February. Organised by Cayman Islands Information Professionals (CIIP), 106 children from schools around Grand Cayman participated, and all received certificates for their colourful and informative presentations.
The storyboards will be on display at the library until Saturday, 18 February. Rotary Sunrise and the Cayman Islands Public Library Service (CIPLS) provided the prizes, which included Kindle HDs and Bose headphones, for the winning entries.
“This particular event is a storyboard competition where students creatively produce an artistic and factual board interpretation of their favourite book,” said CIIP chairman and CIPLS deputy director Paul Robinson. “The submissions are judged on information about the book such as plot characters and how that information is expressed in terms of clarity, creativity, thoroughness, interest invoked and quality.”
