Abstract
This chapter expands on previous notes in chapters focused on composing film as a way of extending opportunities for students to engage with storytelling through multimodal means. The work teachers shared includes written products as well as film-based compositions. The research presented in this chapter examines the classroom as a makerspace in light of recent studies and includes the possibility for storyboarding as well as composing film within layers of a variety of multimodal platforms. The use of film as a kind of mentoring process in authorial work is one area of focus, while the role teachers took as artist/authors in creating mentor texts is an additional area that is highlighted.
