Story Self-Evaluation
We will be using the “6 hats” method for evaluating your work. Each hat represents a different perspective on your work. By examining all views, you can generate ideas on how to improve your work.
White hat: The White Hat calls for information known or needed. "The facts, just the facts."
1. What was my story about (in a nutshell)?
2. What things did I notice in my retelling?
The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and intuition. When using this hat you can express emotions and feelings and share fears, likes, dislikes, loves, and hates.

The Yellow Hat symbolizes brightness and optimism. Under this hat you explore the positives and probe for value and benefit.

1. Where could I change the story to make it more clear?
2. Where are places I could use role-shifting that I didn’t this time around?
3. Where are places I could use classifiers to show where characters are located or how they move?
4. If I could totally change part of my story, where would it be and what would I change?
