Looking at Other Blogs

I really like Cassie's Blog in the fact that it is so bright and easy to read. The contrasting colors bring a type of excited spirit into her stories, which makes it more enjoyable. Her blog shows part of her personality.

I also really enjoyed looking at Alexandra's Myths because it has lots of personality as well. It has a pattern in the background that shows hobbies that she likes to do and it's a really calming color blue. Blue is my favorite color so I enjoyed reading from it a lot.

Another blog that I really enjoyed looking at is Austin's blog because it seems very calm. He has a wood background and it shows that he is natural. It is simple yet beautiful at the same time. I think he captured his personality with just the look of his page.

For me, I like how my blog looks but I still don't have a title for it. At first it started out with me just putting something there till I thought of something, but now half of the semester has gone by and I still haven't changed it. If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Weeks 9 and 10 Future Reading

Native American Marriage Tales - I always thought that some of the marriage rituals of the Native American people were very interesting and fun to learn about. Some of these stories include animals and nature as well included in the marriages. I want to see where the stories go!

California and Southwest Unit - I have lots of family in this area and have been there many times. I have also been to quite a few Native American areas within those states and have learned a lot. I think it would be interesting to hear more of the stories within that specific culture and area.

Hero Tales - This section would be really interesting to read because of all the adventures within it. I love to hear the tales of someone on a mission and getting caught along the way. I am curious as to what kind of heroic tale this could be.

Week 8: Time Strategies

During the first half of this semester I have been able to manage my time pretty well in this class. My schedule is weird this semester in the fact that I have lots of time in between classes. I generally do the first reading on Monday, the second reading on Tuesday, and the Storytelling on Wednesday. This way I have all of them finished a day before their due date. For the blog commenting, feedback, and project progress, I usually do those on Sunday. This way I know that everyone has done their work and I can just knock it out! It has been a pretty good schedule and I plan on still using this method. I just have to continue to be conscious about other projects and tests in other classes!
