Week 8 Comments and Feedback

comments I have recieved have been kind and often helpful. I like reading what other students have felt about my stories. I also love to see people responding to my introduction and enjoying the pictures of my dogs. Many student have left very helpful feedback that encourages me to expand on my stories.

Sometimes I feel my feedback is useless. I often tell students how I enjoyed their stories and what I had hoped to see more of. Sometimes it’s hard to critically analyze ofher students work and to point them in a direction they may be respondsnt to.

I really enjoy reading other blogs, specifically introductions. I have seen some cool storybooks and some good stories in other student’s portfolios that encourage me to try harder in this course, I just often don’t have the time to fine tune and polish all of my posts. I do think every blog has a personality, just as mine reflects the simplicity I like in my life.

I think I should actually enact some of the advice I’ve been give on my portfolio stories, it’s helpful to see where people wanted to see the story grow, so maybe focusing on that in the future on top of revisions would be great. I like both my comment wall and my introduction, so I will leave them as they are!




I love i haz cheeseburger cats, they were such a big part of my young meme childhood.
This photo in particular I chose because it’s a great example of looking past the bad times into the bright future ahead of you. In this case, I see a bright future for my blog as I steadily improve it.

Topic Brainstorm: Storybooks!

1) Doing a storybook of 3 kings from Indian tales ( Ramayana : Vali , Ravana , an Vishvamitra ) I've yet to read about these kings but going through their tales seems like a fun idea. Learning about the character of them but also their feats or arrogance in these stories seems like a fun idea. I think all three of them are connected in a way and I could probably do something really cool to show that link. Vali The Monkey Kings from Wikimedia  2) Creation stories ! I'm not yet familiar with some of the creation stories in Indian Epics, but I think it would be cool learn about them. I grew up reading mythology book and it would be interesting to see the how Indian Epics tell their side of things. 3) God and Goddesses/ Deva and Devi : I am unfamiliar with all the gods and goddesses from Indian Epics so I'm excited to learn their origins and maybe so epic tales involving them. Specifically their origins and possibly their most epic feats, whether creation or a certain...
