Week 8 Reading and Writing
Looking back:
I have really loved reading all these different stories, some more than others of course. It has really given me a broad view of all the stories that are told throughout the world, especially those not really known in America. Also, seeing similar stories that are retold in a different way has been so interesting! I think my reading notes have been pretty good, but I hope to brainstorm more on how I want to change the story when doing the notes rather than struggling later during my story telling.
I think my biggest accomplishment so far is just seeing how creative I can get with story telling. I came into this class with this view that all I can write is technical writing, but after rereading some of my stories, I saw some ingenious ideas and realized it's something I would read in a book! I hope to get more detailed with my writing, making it more engaging to the readers. It is always nice to read stories and imagine as if you were there.

This is personally my favorite image because whenever I read the story I wrote (Rose and Thor) and it makes me imagine myself as a bystander outside of this castle, watching the whole story unfold. Pictures that connect to the story directly, providing a picture of what is going on are what I try to aim for.
Looking forward:
I want to change the name of my story site to make it more captivating. I hope to have more time to do extra credit reading and enjoy all the stories. There are so many out there!
Hi Ahnthu,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that the reading is so fun and there are definitely some I like more than others. I also see what you mean about trying to come up with ideas in your reading notes. Anytime I put an idea of what I want to do in the storytelling when I write the notes it makes it so much easier. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
