Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Student creative teams will produce either a five-minute podcast episode, two-minute short film, two-minute comedy sketch webisode, or short story to be uploaded on StoryArk Network podcast, app and web page. In addition, after students share and discuss their work at StoryArk Network Live! surveys will indicate 90% of the students can articulate three things that they learned from producing their story and two things they learned from hearing the stories of others. Using our logic model, we will consider inputs (students, professionals, nonprofit liaisons, audience), activities (write, perform, record, film, edit and produce) and outputs (3 five-minute podcast episodes, 1 two minute short film, 1 two minute comedy sketch, and 1 short story) as featured at StoryArk Network Live! This analysis will include “Fist to Five” after every meeting to determine how well the day’s goals were accomplished (fist being badly, showing five fingers being best). Student surveys at the end of the project will ask what was learned artistically and socially and determine enthusiasm for continuing projects.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Eleven student teams created seven podcast episodes, three short films, two comedic video sketches, one novel and one short story. All stories were shared at StoryArk Network Live, the StoryArk Network podcast, app and web page. In surveys at the end, 98% of students said they learned how to create a story project from beginning to end. 98% indicated they wanted to continue in future programming.
