Week 8 Reading and Writing


 Overall, I feel as if I am doing really well with this class in general throughout the first half of the semester. I think my biggest problem is procrastination. This has always been a problem of mine, but since I am in 18 hours now it has become so much worse since I am focusing so much more on my upper division classes. 

My reading and writing assignments are going well. One thing that I think I need to work on are my stories and the way I retell them. I sometimes get loss and trying to tell the story in 2 different perspectives instead of taking one. (i.e. 1st or 3rd person, past or present tense). I am extremely happy with my blog and my project website. 

My favorite reading assignments have been the anthology stories. I choose these because I use most of those to write my stories since my portfolio is all about adventures and things to do with animals. I usually won't write stories about the readings that are assigned because of this reason. I like to go back and find new stories I can read about and then write about those.

This was my favorite image I used in one of my blog posts. It was the story about the king, his men, and his boys. On the left, it shows all the boys and men wanting to kill the turtle, but the king demands them to just go back and through it into the lake. 
(King, boys, men, and turtle)

Looking forward, the main thing I want to stop doing to make me more successful in this class is to stop procrastinating. Knowing me, I still will do that but it is something I really need to work on. Also, like I stated above, working on telling my stories from one view and sticking to the right verbs that sound grammatically correct.

Logan's Introduction

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance. Money and math has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make. The best class I took last semester was Business Finance. In my opinion, this was my favorite class because this is what I am majoring in and I really enjoy doing financial problems. My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movie...

The Turtle Who Indeed Stopped Talking Story Week 12

Image
  Bibliography: Ellen C Babbitt,  The Turtle who Couldn't Stop Talking One day, I was just strollin around the wildnerness where I live by the pond. There were these two birds who flew around me for quite a while, pretty sure they were geese. I got very nervous and scared so I hid myself in the pond. The geese flew away and never bothered me the rest of the time.  The next day, the two geese came back and I was outside the pond at the time. They came down to me and said, "Turtle, we are looking for some food for the night, can you be our dinner?" I, still scared and nervous at day two, decided to talk calmly to the geese.  "Why would you want to eat me, I've done nothing to the two of you besides be friendly, I just met you guys." I exclaimed. The geese decided to be friends and stop terrorizing me.  A couple days the geese came to visit me at the pond, we talked and hung out a lot. One day the geese tell me they will take me to a far away very nice home if ...
