below. For this evalua on, I am using the idea of 2 stars and one wish discussed in Media
Literacy is Elementary. (Share, p. 188) Each student will put down 2 good things about each

groups video and one thing that they can improve on. The class will discuss what they come
up with. This will give my students a chance to cri cally analyze each video on how it is
produced, the ease of understanding and ways that it can be improved.

2. Group assessment of their classmates: The students will create ac vi es that they will
complete in class to evaluate how well their classmates learned from their presenta ons.
