Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Image on Growth Mindset

For the feedback that I am receiving for Mythology and Folklore, it is mostly shorter comments of praise. I would like to be receiving more substantial feedback of things that I could work on. I have used a few suggestions from these comments to improve by storytelling. I appreciate it when other students let me know that something is unclear, because I want my writing to be of good quality. The most useful comments that I have received have come from Ms. Gibbs.
Looking back through the comments that I have received, I see a pattern of people praising my blog format and my author’s notes. I take the author’s notes very seriously, as others probably have not read the original stories that my tales have been inspired by. I want the reader to clearly understand what happened in the original stories and how mine differ.
I am getting to know certain people’s profiles and projects for this class and for Epics of India. I like returning to the same profiles to see how other students are handling their feedback and improving their own work. There are a few projects that I am looking forward to reading stories from, such as the girl whose Storybook is on Selkies.
I also took the feedback instructions page very seriously before I began commenting on people’s stories and projects. It is important to give others constructive feedback. This means letting them know what they have done well and what they could improve on. I do not see the point in leaving feedback if there are no suggestions as to what they could be improving on.
Looking forward, I think I really just need to be reading more of the comments that I receive from others. I will scroll through my blogs to look for substantial content to help improve my work. Other than that, I will continue leaving others constructive feedback.

I am currently taking my last semester completely online, as I have already finished my French courses and gone through Capstone. I’m just finishing up some upper-division credits.        I was originally a Music major because I love playing clarinet. Throughout high school, clarinet was the most important part of my life. However, I went through a lot of personal and familial issues during my first two years at OU, and I was struggling in some key music courses, like music theory. French had been my minor, but I realized that I was doing exceptionally well in my language classes, and as I did not want to teach music, I switched my major and minor. My last semester was a big success. I was taking four French courses, including Capstone, and was in one of the bands a...

Week 10 Story: What Summer Thought of Being Taken from the Sky

Image on  Flickr Once upon a time when the Earth was new, there was only one season, Winter. The people of Earth, whether of the plains, the mountains, or the oceanside, lived in fear of the North Wind. As the Earth was still so young, there was still plenty of magic in it. The North Wind possessed some of this magic and was so powerful that he could shapeshift into the form of a human. The waters of the Earth were always icy, if not completely frozen over. The ground was caked with snow and thus mostly infertile. Earth’s people made thick clothes and large fires to battle the North Wind’s blows, and they questioned why they were subjected to such harsh conditions. Perhaps you know the tale of the great O-jeeg who brought down the Summer from the heavens so that Earth’s peoples could enjoy its warmth. Brought down also were Spring and Autumn. These four seasons have since shared the responsibility of watching over the Earth. The North Wind was most di...
