Ancient Greek Classics

 Overall, I love the reading and writing assignments.  I like the readings especially because we were able to pick out the readings that interested us most in the week 2 reading overview assignment.  So far, I have been very happy with my selection! I knew I wanted to write about heroes or adventurers so I sort of picked out readings with that in mind.  I have also appreciated the feedback that I have gotten.  Laura recommended that I check out Sinbad's adventures as I had left it off of my reading overview, and luckily I ended up deciding to read about Sinbad for extra credit.  As it turned out, I think those stories have been my favorite up until this point in the semester.  They reminded me of the Odyssey! So I thought that was really neat :) The Sinbad stories also inspired me to write a story about a sailor--and I have really enjoyed working on this story.  In fact, it's the current story in my project.  So yes--I love the readings and t...

 Yes I am definitely happy with my progress so far.  I think it's pretty neat to watch the blog expand as the weeks fly by! I think I am most proud of my stories this semester.  I have tried to branch out a bit, but it's safe to say I like writing the same kinds of stories.  I think that's why I have enjoyed the adventure readings so much, like Sinbad.  I like getting new sources of inspiration, and I really appreciate that I was able to pick out which readings I wanted to do in the reading overview assignment.  I've also transitioned into thinking more about a long story.  For instance, having multiple stories that are all apart of a bigger story.  I have always appreciated that aspect of storybooks.  As for my routine, I have mostly been doing the assignments around when I work. I like the extra credit options a lot; it definitely makes the deadlines seem less stressful.  Moving forward, I want to continue to improve my writing.  ...

 Overall I like the feedback that I have been getting throughout my stories.  They have been really positive and it's nice seeing a new perspective.  They are also really positive, and I really like that.  It is nice to see a lot of positivity on the blogs! I wish other comments threads and discussions were as positive as the comments that I have seen and received! It's cool to read comments about my story from a complete outside view.  For instance, if I need to explain something better or give more background information on a certain topic that can be pointed out! I also have enjoyed the comments that have pointed out suggestions or something that I could do different.  These kinds of comments help me to grow as a writer and think differently about my material.  I have enjoyed reading stories and giving feedback! It's neat to see all the ideas that people have come up with.  I love the projects, especially the storybooks.  I think it's fasc...
