Mythology & Folklore

So far I am doing alright in terms of progress. I have a pretty set schedule. I should probably start taking advantage of the extra credit, just to boost my grade a little. I think my favorite assignments are the readings, because I love learning about different cultures through their mythology. Going forward I am going to try to work on being a little more proactive and trying to get things done in the days before the due dates instead of on them. Hang In There

Overall I think they feedback I've been getting is good! They have useful suggestions that I have used to improve my writing. As for my comments, I think they are also productive. I definitely take away some tips and ideas from reading other peoples stories. I feel like generally I've interacted with almost everyone in the class in one way or another. Going forward, I think I should work on time mostly with my comments. I tend to leave them until the last minute and I think they would be more productive if I spent some more time on them. You can learn from criticism I chose this picture because I think criticism is an important part of feedback and it is especially important to learn to take the criticism well and use it constructively.

I've enjoyed the reading and writing assignments I've done so far. Creative writing is very outside of my comfort zone, but it is interesting to explore my abilities in that way. The reading notes are helping me, especially when choosing which reading to base my story off of. The image I chose was from my notes on the story of Aladdin: Aladdin in the Magic Garden I liked this one because it was very true to the original story, which was set in Asia. It also jumped out at me because it was very colorful and busy, and I felt like it was the best fit for the story. Looking forward, I don't think there is much more that I can get out of the stories. Maybe I could improve my creative writing abilities, but it's not my strong suit, so who knows if I can get any better haha.
