Personal Narrative – Digital Story Example
- Indicate what assessment/evaluation traits you selected and why (in other words, what's your rationale as a critic of these stories?)
- Story – This is a digital story so story should be the most important.
- Content Understanding – If the person is taking a stance or educating, I want to know that they know what they’re talking about.
- Originality, Voice, Creativity – I am interested in how these stories use creativity to help our generation stay engaged.
- The extent to which these traits are successfully present and utilized in the given stories
- Story – This one has a definite story to it, which is important. She wanted us to feel her suspense as she waited for her proposal.
- Content Understanding – There really wasn’t any content to understand on this one. It was interesting for her to convey how important football is to the family though.
- Originality, Voice, Creativity – I think voice and creativity was most evident when she was talking about the other girl’s ring. She said that she “thrusted her hand forward” and I thought that helped me imagine what happened.
- What these traits fail to capture about the selected story (that is, what other characteristics of the story are noteworthy, and why?)
- I think this story was the best one so far with timing. She talked slowly enough to understand but not so slowly that it was boring. She spoke very clearly so we could understand what was happening.
- Based upon your trait evaluation, what modifications and changes to this digital story might improve aspects of narrative, production, media usage, and/or audience engagement?
- I would say to use more pictures. It felt boring sometimes because one picture was there for a long time. I would prefer more movement to help me stay engaged in the story.
