My Digital Story
- 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 – The story was exceptional in this digital story. I really enjoyed listening to it. My son was even overhearing the story and came over to watch with me and ask questions.
- Content Understanding – There was a little bit of content, such as what she can and cannot do based on her condition. For the most part though it was a story rather than information presentation.
- Originality, Voice, Creativity – This was also very strong in this story. The storyteller also did all of the animations for the video so it was very original. She used her own voice to tell the story. I think it was very creative and I liked seeing her art.
- What these traits fail to capture about the selected story (that is, what other characteristics of the story are noteworthy, and why?)
- I think these traits cannot describe the strength of this story. It was a great story and really showed how she grew over time. I liked that she started out wanting to play sports but then ended up accepting who she is and growing to like what she could do even with her condition. I like that she changed her mind and found some self-esteem.
- 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?
- The only thing she might add is some factual content. I have never heard of a case of asthma that is this bad. How common is this bad of a case? I can’t tell how old she was when she wanted to play sports and how old she is now. It seems like she is quite a bit older but it might be nice to know this information. Otherwise she did a great job!
