Time ManagementSurvey on Monday
2 Journals Fiinal Digital story telling and surveys of assessments. |
MondayIn today's workshop, we will discuss the survey and share and assess digital projects, including those above, Mrs. Weir's and your own.
TuesdayAssess your own story and improveReview your digital storytelling assignment with the link below, and then make alterations. Examples will be added this week.
WednesdayOutside assessmentAsk a learning coach, good and trustworthy friend or classmate to assess your story using the link below.
ThursdayBy this time, you should have had several different audiences read/listen/see your story. You should have had them all fill out the assigned survey. Remember in the "real" world a story is successful not if a publisher agrees to publish it, for publishers only do that with stories that can make $money$, but because even after something is published, a writer may not be paid, nor the story read. What makes something successful is not the grade, but the audience response. Mrs. Weir wants you to experience what writers (and just plain old employees) have to experience in life, the response from a large and diverse group of people. Your story should have been commented on several times on the survey though.
Did you know....Famous Rejection #3: Dr. Seuss Rejected 27 TimesClick above for the source or copy below: http://www.onehundredrejections.com/2010/07/dr-seuss-rejected-27-times.html
Who could reject Dr. Seuss? Turns out, lots of people. Dr. Seuss has, during his lifetime, won two Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and a Peabody Award. He sold over two million books including some of his most popular: "The Cat In The Hat," "The Sneetches," "Green Eggs & Ham," "Oh, The Places You'll Go," and "How The Grinch Stole Christmas." Yet, even Dr. Seuss was rejected. His first book, “And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street” was rejected 27 times before he finally got a yes. One of his most famous rejection letter excerpts read, “This is too different from other juveniles on the market to warrant its selling.” Be sure you are revising and improving based upon feedback.
