Indian Epics

The Monkey and the Crocodile- I already wrote a story about The monkey and Crocodile and can find it on my blog. How the turtle saved it's own life- There was a king who owned a lake for his sons to play in. One day he boys found a turtle and thought it was a demon since they have never seen one. The king ordered the turtle to die but the turtle convinced the king the worst punishment would be to go back in the lake. The turtle was thrown back into the lake and lived happily. The Merchant of Seri- There were once two merchants who used to travel together selling tin. One of them was a greedy merchant who came across a golden bowl. The merchant acted like it was useless so he could come back and pay very little for it. While gone the other merchant came and traded all he had for the gold bowl and traveled away. The Turtle who couldn't Stop Talking- A turtle became friends with two geese. The Geese wanted to bring the turtle with them back home and the turtle agreed. The tu...

The Canvas app has been very beneficial to me throughout my time in college. Being able to have access to canvas and check whether I have homework due or a test that week without pulling out my computer is very convenient.

1. I am happy with my progress so far. I currently have an A in this class and I have a little breathing room due to my extra credit. I am most proud of the stories I have written because before this class I probably have written a fictional story since 7th grade. The class assignments I enjoy the most are the extra credit options or when I get to write a story about whatever I want. I changed the theme of my blog and site so things are going well. 2. I need to fix my grammar on my stories which is one of the pitfalls I want to avoid. One thing new I want to try is some of the extra credit options I avoid each week.

1. I have enjoyed the comments I have been receiving. The comments I enjoy the most are the ones that actually give me feedback to fix my paper instead of just telling me how much they like my story. 2. I would say I am giving pretty good comments. I try to tell them what I like about their story and then try and tell them one thing they could fix. 3. I haven't really gotten to know anyone through this class other than reading their introductions. 4. I might add a couple more pictures on my comment wall so it isn't so bland. 5. I chose this picture because I actually enjoy the comments that point out errors so I can make my story better.

The reading and writing assignments are working fine for me so far in this class. I sometimes do get distracted when reading or writing but for the most part, it's been good.  I am happy with my blog because I enjoy having all my writings in one spot instead of them all being saved as different documents in my computer.  I'm satisfied with the stories I'm coming up with but I'm not satisfied with all the errors I can making and having to go back and fix. My biggest accomplishment's in this class are my 2 stories. My favorite reading was the short comic about Rama's two sons Yes, my reading notes help a little because my stories are usually about just a very small part of the big stories. Lion I chose this picture because it's very aesthetically pleasing and I love animals. One thing I do need to get better at is rechecking my work after I write it.
