Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect up to 24 participants to actively create an individual autobiographical story which will be recorded for their personal memento. We will help them describe the details of their experience(s) through improvisation and story development. We will conduct individual surveys and feedback on the learning and participation experience and also obtain feedback from the instructors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students created a storytelling performance using skills they learned in class and 100% reported that they would return for another class.
