Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This project will raise the quality of arts opportunities by leveling the playing field in folktales by posting thirty new and adapted stories online and by increasing the number of girl hero folktales and histories told and heard by Minnesotans.In surveys at the capstone I will be successful if at least 90% agree that performed stories were high quality. At least 90% will agree that they heard a new story that they may tell to someone else.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Recorded 31 "Girl Hero" folktales and stories on www.storylibrary.org. 95% of survey respondents agreed that the performance was of high quality and that they heard a new story that they may tell someone else in the future.
