Under the "Storytelling" subtopic, please add your thoughts about storytelling assessment. Consider these questions:
- What do the example rubrics linked above assess?
- Do the rubrics assess both product and process? Would you?
- Which is more important in telling a story - grammar or content? Do you need to assess both?
- How would you assess a digital storytelling project?
