I am pretty introverted person, so I think that I am really proud that I can easily post my thoughts and stories for others. The class assignments that I enjoy the most would be the storytelling assignments as well as the stories for our storybook assignment. I have not used any of the extra credit assignments so far, but I think that for this week I might try and complete some of these assignments. I think that moving forward; I need to begin building my website as there are grammatical errors in some of my stories. Also, I need to add more information about some of the stories that I have in my storybook so far. Overall, I am happ...

I like the storytelling assignments that we have in class as it is a creative way to gain more in-depth knowledge about the characters that we are learning in the epics. The website is really fun to create and edit; however, I think that I need to work on some of the technological aspects on the website. I think that for my blog, the story posts have been improving every week as I am trying to add more simplicity, flow, and dialogue in my stories. For this class, my biggest accomplishment would be designing the storybook for class as this is a completely new experience for me. So far, my favorite reading has been Ravana’s story in the Ramayana. I think that my reading notes are definitely helpful with my story posts as I can write down my notes and choose the best theme that I will use for my story. Overall, I am pretty content with the ...
