Story Viewed: "First Prize -- MyIligan : A Digital Story Telling Contest"
- 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 – There wasn’t a huge story here. It was apparent that the author had moved from Manila to a different city but he did not tell the story of this move.
- Content Understanding – There wasn’t a lot of content here either. There was a message but there weren’t solid facts that the author had to know in order to get his message across.
- Originality, Voice, Creativity – This was the strongest point in this video. The author started out by looking at the differences between cities. Then he went into why these differences were important and why he preferred the simple life instead. This was a great message!
- What these traits fail to capture about the selected story (that is, what other characteristics of the story are noteworthy, and why?)
- The message in the story was very powerful. The author says, “Who is the more noble: he who has everything and is contented with nothing, or he who has nothing and is contented with everything?” This is a great message, especially for us Americans who are very privileged.
- 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?
- Some content facts might be useful such as the year that this took place and the author’s personal story. It might be beneficial to know why he moved there in the first place.
