Week 8: Reading and Writing

Overall the reading and writing assignments are really helpful to my overall understanding and comprehension of the materials in this class. I like how they encourage you to read like a writer, and think about the writing themes and character development in the progression of the stories. It also has made me an even better story teller now that I am more familiar with what I am looking for in the readings. I am better at adding dialogue to my stories and I am better at adding more descriptive wording, as well as being able to recreate a storyline in the same themes as the stories I read each week. It has also been fun to be able to explore in more depth, the stories that I may think I know, but actually only know a small part of the whole story. I am really excited to be able to keep up with the readings and also letting my creativity shine in the writings!

My favorite image from a pervious post is this one:
Image Info: Sloth

This image just makes me smile and it is fun to be able to pick an image that really just encompasses what you are feeling at the time. Whether it be related to the readings, or if it is just a fun picture you want to share, I think it is important to be able to express yourself through writing and also visual effect in this blog.

In the end, if there was one thing I could focus on to being more successful with the reading and the writing in the future, it would be to really focus more on the character development within the stories. I think this is one way that my reading analyzing skills could improve, which would ultimately help my writing skills improve.

    Hey Stephanie! I love the pictures of the sloths that you chose. I always thought sloths were kind of dirty and ugly animals but these picture make them seem funny. I think its funny when sometimes humans remind us of animals, and I have a good friend of mine who reminds me so much of a sloth so this made me laugh. I'm glad your reading and writing seems to be going well and you're seeing personal improvement. Keep up the good work!

Introduction

Hey everyone, my name is Stephanie Krawczyk. I'm from Tulsa, Oklahoma and I am beginning my senior and final year here at the University of Oklahoma studying Chemical Engineering. Although there are a lot of cool things about m major, I think the coolest thing about my major is that even though I have learned so much in my time here, there is so much out there to discover and continue learning! I love my family and I love that Tulsa isn't too far of a drive from them. And they can make the trip up to see me too. I have a younger brother, Adam, who just moved into his freshman year at the University of Arkansas, and I am so excited to see where his life takes him in the next couple of years. Also I have one dog who is the coolest dog in the whole world (even though all dogs are amazing). Her name is Kacy and she's 10 years old. I always make my parents send me pictures of her. Here is a picture I took of her: One of my other favorite things is food. I can't think of...

Week 11 Storytelling: The not so Wiley Coyote

Once there was a coyote, and all he wanted in life was a friend. He often caught himself watching all of the other animals, saddened, thinking to himself, "I wish I could fly like the bird" or "I wish I had such beauty as the ." But all of the other animals were warned about the coyotes kind. They were warned to stay away, because he was a dangerous creature. The coyote wanted to prove to the town that he was actually good, so he devised a plan that would surely show all the other animals that he was not bad. The coyote began to gather flowers and plants of such beauty, and he began to weave them into a banner that he planned to hang above the two main trees in the village. As he was setting up this banner, he noticed a roadrunner trot by and as he was admiring him, he forgot to attach the final piece of vine that would fully attach the banner. The other animals began to notice what the coyote was doing so they approached him. As the coyote was standing by, he...
