Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Image on Growth Mindset

For Epics of India and for Mythology and Folklore, the comments that I am receiving from other are largely ones that praise my blog format and the quality of my author’s notes. I am glad that other students find my author’s notes to be useful, because I take them very seriously. When writing them, I think of how clearly I am summarizing the work that I was inspired by for my own storytelling. As many students will not have read the particular stories that I have, it is pertinent for me to accurately explain the key characteristics of any given story that I write on and to tell how my own story has differed. While I appreciate the praise that I am receiving from other students (who probably want to write me a quick note in order to get their Comments assignment out of the way), I would appreciate more substantial feedback. The most useful feedback that I am receiving is from Ms. Gibbs.
When I go to leave feedback for other students, I always keep constructive criticism in mind. I do not want my words to be wasted on only praise that will not help others improve their work. For me, I am looking forward to sharing my four blogs for these two courses with others when I am finished with them, as they are something to be proud of. We are all spending a lot of time on these and I do not want that to go to waste. So, when I leave comments on stories and projects, I always start with the things that I like about their work, and then let them know how I think that they could improve it.
I am getting to know certain people’s profiles and projects, and this is something that I really appreciate. I like going back to the same profiles and seeing how other students are improving on their work. Also, some Storybooks and Portfolios sound super interesting to me and I want to go back to them. These include two particular Storybooks, one about Selkies and one about Celestial Women whose voices are just now being heard. I think the writing in these projects is going to be taken very seriously.
Looking forward, I hope to receive more useful feedback from other students. While I like receiving praise and knowing what others like about my blogs, I also want my blogs to end up being of good quality. I will continue leaving others constructive feedback that I hope they put to good use.

Personal image, Carlie and me Personal image, Yat Fan and me        Hello! My name is Bridget Clayton and I am a French major and Music minor at the University of Oklahoma. I am currently taking my last semester completely online, as I have already finished my French courses and gone through Capstone. I’m just finishing up some upper-division credits.        I was originally a Music major because I love playing clarinet. Throughout high school, clarinet was the most important part of my life. However, I went through a lot of personal and familial issues during my first two years at OU, and I was struggling in some key music courses, like music theory. French had been my minor, but I realized that I was doing exceptionally well in my language classes, and as I did not want to teach music, I switched my major and minor. My last semester was a big success. I was taking four French courses, including Capstone, and was in one of the bands at OU, and I got my first 4.0. I also won

Week 9 Storytelling: The Strength of a Woman

Image on  Flickr Inez and her husband Victor did not make much money, but they were a happily married couple. The couple had two adopted children from Victor’s deceased sister who they loved as their own. They did not spend money on things that they knew they couldn’t afford, but they always had enough and lived a much more fruitful life than most people. The one thing that they thought would really make a difference to their happiness was their want for a biological child. After trying to conceive for five years, they were finally blessed with the news that Inez was pregnant. Not only that, but she was carrying triplets, two girls and one boy. The prospect of three children altogether was nice , but five was more of a financial burden than the couple expected. Still, Inez and Victor were looking forward to the additions to their family. Victor took up extra hours at work, and the couple prepared everything they needed for the delivery of the three infants.
