Week 8 Progress

Overall, I am happy with the progress I have made in this class so far. However, it has been a lot more work than I was expecting. I am currently enrolled in 24 hours so I have a lot on my plate academically. Even though the work load is a lot, I do enjoy the content in this class. It is so interesting to do all of the reading notes and write stories.

Looking forward to the rest of the semester, I don't really want to change anything I'm doing. I have time managed my time well and I think I'm making really good progress. If I were to do anything I would maybe try to get ahead a little bit! But I am very happy with where I am for this semester!

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Overall, I think the comment I have been getting in this class has been super helpful. It's nice to have other students reading my posts because they see things and catch things that I don't always see. When writing my Introduction for my storybook, the students' comments really helped me clarify what was going on throughout the Introduction and it helped me improve it a lot. I also like commenting on other people's posts because it's interesting to see how other people are handling the assignments in this class.

Going forward, I don't really want to change the way that I am giving feedback because I think it's been good overall. I'm looking forward to receiving more feedback throughout the course from other students as well because it really does help improve my writing, storytelling, and project.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

This class has definitely opened up my reading and writing abilities a lot. I like the fact that I am able to express myself creatively while also learn a lot about different cultures at the same time. I've learned so much about different cultures and their beliefs. It's so interesting to hear how different regions of the world tell stories and express their cultures.

My writing posts so far have gone really well! It's fun coming up with different ways to tell a story. Sometimes I went with a completely different concept with the stories than their original backbone. Other times, I thought the story was so good on it's own that it only needed a little changing! It's fun to mess around with different concepts until I find the right one!

The reading notes have been my favorite part of the semester. I can really look into the different stories and choose which one I want to dive deeper into. It's really interesting to see how different regions and cultures of the world tell their stories from week to week. And for the most part, they're all really interesting and have deeper meanings within them.

My storybook project has definitely been the most challenging part of this class. It's hard to put something together and commit to a topic when there is so much out there that I want to write about! Overall, I am excited about putting together the rest of my project because I think it will come together nicely.

Looking forward, I'm eager to put more into my storybook project and excited to learn about more stories of different parts of the world. I'm really enjoying this class so far!
