Week 8 Progress

Image
Image on  Picky Wallpapers In Mythology and Folklore, I am mostly happy with the progress that I have made so far. I am completing all of the assignments by their due dates, and for the last two weeks I have been planning out my weekly schedules. This is helping me keep all of my classes organized. Although I have not missed an assignment in any class, I am more comfortable with writing out my weekly plans. The assignments that I have enjoyed most are the readings, because you get to choose what you want to read. The epics can be a little tedious, so my favorite are the short tales, like Aesop and Bidpai. They are easy to get through, and you learn important life lessons. I am also excited about the beginning of my Storybook project. I have not done any extra credit assignments for this course, yet, and would definitely like to if I have a chance to get ahead. Looking forward, I will continue to write out my weekly schedules. I am also goi...

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Image
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.

Week 8 Reading and Writing Review

The Fox and the Crane on  Wikimedia Overall, I am pleased with how I am doing in Mythology and Folklore. At the beginning of the semester, I was a little worried about the course load for this class and for Epics of India, which has the same format. The assignments are not hard, but they are time-consuming. I usually work over thirty hours a week, and my shifts almost always start at 4:30 a.m.! So, I am frequently very tired and I have to push myself to get work done. My favorite post from this class has been the Introduction to my Storybook, In the Seven Woods. It is a project inspired by the collection of one play and a number of poems by the famous Irish poet, W. B. Yeats. I have always been interested in Ireland, since it is the only place that I know for a fact I have family from. My introductory post sounds intriguing and I am looking forward to working on the stories for the project in the coming weeks. For the weekly Storytelling, the reading n...
