1. StoriesLive® - Final evaluation

Dear high school student,
We had a blast working with you in your classrooms and hearing all of your stories. We appreciated all your energy and the valuable time you invested in learning to craft and perform. Your participation this year was stellar and we thank you for sharing your amazing stories.

StoriesLive® is a program that massmouth.org wants to take to high schools...well, everywhere. Not just Massachusetts. As some of our first participants in our third year we especially value your opinions-- good, bad or indifferent. Your survey is anonymous in the way all things web related are.

Which is to say we have the IP address and time stamp of each entry.

Whatever your honest opinions, we do want to know what you think. So even if we 'bombed' - we want to know how badly. But only if you can be specific. You can trash us if you think it is fair and we will pay attention to your opinion if it is backed up with thought, reason and evidence. We will dump pranks, rants or nonsense so save your time.

We intend to make StoriesLive® the most positive educational experience it can be for all students, from the naturally theatrical, creative writers to the shy students who may be challenged or reluctant to participate. We think you can help us do that. So please, take a few moments to evaluate our work this year with this short survey.

At massmouth.org, our new website, you will see video, articles and other information. You all are making history with us !

Thanks,
Norah Dooley
