Week 8: Comments and Feedback

 1. I'm actually really enjoying the feedback I'm getting from classmates! Honestly, I didn't think that I would. It's fun to read what others think of my stories. It also helps me look for errors or inconsistencies in my writing. I mostly like the suggestions that they make for my stories. They suggest adding to the story in ways that I didn't think of before. Their questions make me think more about my own story/plot line.  When I read my own writing it all makes sense to me, so it's hard to see what others are thinking. The feedback from the class helps me with that. 


2. I think that my own feedback is okay. Since I'm trying to use similar feedback strategies (the WWW method), I feel like I'm saying the same things over and over. I also still feel back correcting other people's work-like is it okay to suggest an editing correction? I still like reading everyone's stories, but I feel more comfortable responding to their introductions more than their stories. I don't mind saying things that I like, but I still struggle with giving constructive criticisms.

3.  Yes! I do feel like I'm getting to know people through the blogs! I enjoy reading people's introductions and seeing all of their great pictures. I think that my introduction is okay, but after seeing everyone else's I think I could've added more personal information about myself. I felt like everyone had a good story to tell, but mine was more of a list of things I like lol. It's hard for me to write about myself for some reason.  I also think that I made a mistake to linking to my previous introduction. I figured people would click the link and read it, but from the comments, I don't think they did lol. 

4. I think that I need to try out different strategies for feedback. Since I'm sticking to WWW, most of my comments seem the same to me. I think I can trust look for new things to focus on. It would help me if other people pointed out things that they want from feedback. Maybe if they put a little note like "I had trouble with XXX" or "Please look at XXX part of my story". I think that would make people feel like their feedback is necessary and helpful!

 

5. From this class, I always remember how important feedback is for a storyteller. Other students in the class have great ideas for my stories and push me to improve my writing. I used to feel weird giving feedback, but now I understand how necessary it is.

Week 15 Extra Credit Reading: Lang's Fairy Tales II, Part A

 These notes are based off Blue Beard which is from The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang (1889).  This is a story that I've seen referenced, but I've never read it myself! It was scary. I thought the bride was going to die. She honestly got lucky I don't like that it was her brothers that saved her If I rewrote it, I would make her fight Blue Beard, or outsmart him somehow Maybe she could hide in the bloody closet and pounce on him Also, she could've just run away after she found out! Anyway, so Blue seems like a pretty sweet guy.  He has an ugly blue beard, so no one wants to marry him. They are also weirded out because a bunch of his old wives have gone missing (clue), which is fair However, with all his money, he is able to woo a new bride He went away on a trip, and gave her all the keys to his mansion She can open all the doors BUT not the secret closet (familiar rule...) She obviously goes into the closet and sees dead women. There are bodies all over the floor  ...

Introductions Are Hard

 Hello! I'm Grayce and this is my second time taking an online class with Laura! All of the information in my original introduction   is still pretty accurate, so feel free to check it out. Honestly, I'm pretty bad at talking about myself and it's just as hard while blogging 😅. This is my senior year at OU (finally!). Since I'm an older college student (25), I'm very excited to graduate. I will soon be able to start my career as an educator which is completely terrifying! Over my quarantine summer, I've been surrounding myself with plants. I have a tendency to kill things, but I've found a few varieties of houseplants (snake plant and marble pothos) that can withstand some abuse lol. If you have any gardening advice, or suggestions for plant names, let me know :)  My plant friends:  This is my Marble Queen Pothos (needs a name!) This is my Snake plant (Sansevieria), which is currently named Georgina (I'm open to renaming)  Image Information:  "Marb...
