Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Attendees will improve their ability to write stories that will hold the attention of an audience.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Nineteen people attended the two-session class. All of the evaluations were very positive about the instructor and the class. A lot of material was covered in a short time, but attendees with varying degrees of writing experience said that they learned quite a bit from the class. Their writing and storytelling skills improved. The only criticisms were that the class did not have more sessions. Most of the participants had been to other library programs, but the class did attract some people who had never attended any adult programs at the library before.
