Step 6:
Show your students how to export their drawings out of the drawing program as .jpg files to the desktop (or a folder), name the picture file to match the scene number and drop them into iPhoto after EACH drawing is
complete.
Step 7:
When students have completed their drawings and all files are exported to iPhoto, create new iMovie HD project and have students record their script or narration on the audio track using the red record button under the media>audio tab.
Tell them to record each scene as a separate audio track!
