Week 8 Progress

 

Source

I'm ok with the progress I've made so far. I would like to have more points, but I've been busy and I kind of fell behind. I think I should start getting on the grind again, and hopefully finish early! 

My weekly routine is pretty set, so I think if I tried to change anything now, it wouldn't work out well.

I really enjoy writing the stories. I think it's refreshing to have a class that I can be creative in, and just really do whatever. I also really love creating my storybook project. I'm hoping to get more done on that.

I do some extra credit, but I feel like I should be doing more. I'm going to start writing more blogs I think. 

As the second part of the semester progresses, I think I'm just going to write more to hopefully finish early. I just gotta put the time and effort in!

Week 8 Coments and Feedback

 Feedback in:

 I've received a lot of feedback from other classmates, and overall it's been very positive. I've had a lot of encouraging comments, as well as comments that include constructive feedback. I enjoy reading through them, I think they're very helpful.

Most of the constructive feedback has been on my storybook project. There's a lot of ideas people are kind of throwing my way that I think would work well with my project. I've been trying to do things a certain way, and another set of eyes will point out a better solution. 

All in all, the feedback I've received so far has been great. 

Feedback Out:

I'm not sure my feedback is very constructive. When I read people's stories and look at their projects I tend to find things I like and comment on that aspect. I've never been good at giving feedback, which is why I couldn't ever teach. I'm not sure how to be constructive.

Blog Comments:

Blog comments are probably my favorite part of this course. I love seeing new comments on my post, and I really like to post comments as well. I see familiar names often, and I feel like there's a community of sorts posting on each others blogs. I think it's really fun.

I chose this image because I think it's a great template on how to provide constructive feedback. Like I said , I've never been good at giving feedback, and I think this is a great infograph to follow when providing. I'm going to use it in the future when giving feedback.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Week 8 Reading and Writing

 Looking Back:

I'm rather pleased with how my writing assignments have turned out. I have really enjoyed creating this blog and my project site, and I've put in a lot of time and effort to make them both look good.

I think my biggest writing accomplishment so far is my Introduction post. I received a lot of comments and feedback on that post. I'm not a very personal person, so when I posted that I thought about deleting it and writing something about how much I love cheese. I'm glad I stuck with it though.

My favorite story I've written so far is Weapons Master of the Gods.

The image I liked the best is the one I used for my story Goblin City. The image is inspired from the poem The Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti.

Looking Forward:

Looking forward, I can't think of anything I would change to get more out of reading and writing. I like the system I've created. I usually read the stories first, then reread them while taking notes. The notes portion gives me the ideas I use to create stories.
