As a class, we developed the following criteria for evaluating the digital storytelling projects. Stories will be evaluated on:

Rhetorical Situation

• form and content both target a specific Fairbanks audience
• has a clear purpose, ex: persuade, mobilize, possibly including a “call to action”
• exploits the digital context to enhance the story

Content

• focused enough, not too narrow
• form complements content
• research is clearly and creatively incorporated

Technique

• all media  elements used (video, audio, etc) are edited/”finished”
• well-composed (written, performed, organized)

Each group member will evaluate themselves as well as each of the other members of the group on the following criteria. Evaluations are due Thursday, 4/30.

Collaborative Atmosphere

• considers everyone’s ideas and values all opinions
• encourages discussion
• cooperative – being helpful to one another

Effort

• participates in all group activities — filming, meetings, decision-making
• takes initiative when appropriate
• does outside work and comes prepared to group meetings

Actual tasks completed

• the things you committed to doing are done
• work meets quality standards of the group
• meets deadlines

Final grades for the assignment will be 60% Kendell’s evaluation based on the first set of criteria and 40% average of self and group assessment.
