Week 8 Progress

I am very happy with my progress! I have not been using as much of the extra credit this semester, but I did enjoy the assignment of the growth mindset ones. Looking forward, I am excited about reading over the other stories in The Odyssey and finishing up my storybook!

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

The feedback I have been getting from my classmates has been pretty useful! So far, I only have a few comments on my comment wall but those comments have definitely revolutionized the way that I do my comments. I feel like the comments that I am giving could be better. One thing that I could focus on is specific parts of a person's story when I am reading it and give more detailed feedback instead of just general feedback. Looking forward, I think I will be more specific with my feedback.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

So far I am very happy with the reading and my progress! I use this class as an opportunity to explore creative writing techniques. My favorite story so far has probably been "Patrick the Sailor" because that's my first time using a first-person narrative from a different person's perspective. Next, the chance to write about something that I just came up with and have other people read it is super positive as well! I like hearing about what people think about my writing and it encourages me to write better stuff! Perhaps one thing that I will try out is focusing on different strategies for my reading notes. Then I can type a story that I have never tried before!


Patrick praying. Captures from my person photos.

I really like that photo because I saw it on a meme. I use it all the time in text conversations and I just love that it looks like he's praying to some divinity. So really, I chose that photo because I think it's the funniest photo.

Looking forward, I need to get better at my reading notes. They're not as good as useful to me as because i never refer to them when I write my story. I'm going to focus on "beautiful sentences" nice week!
