Thinking crazy thoughts will make a person act crazy and become very timid to a lot of situation. So, one day there was this rabbit that was already edge with everything because he believed the earth would one day fall apart. Nobody could tell him difference he dreamt of it so he believed it.

"Week 8 Progress"

I have happy with my progress, I never knew an online class to be this confusing but each week I start to get the hang or it more. I like my progress with being able to base my short tales off a story that was written. I never knew blogging could be this fun! My weekly routine is still all over the place, but I am trying my best to balance it. I have not started using any extra credit, but I think I need to do a few extra credit to make up for that one week.

"Week 8 Comments and Feedback

1.       In this class anybody is allowed to comment on my post and I feel like the word count helps a lot with the quality of feedback I receive on the different assignments we have to do. I like to read people’s opinions or suggestions on my work, because it helps me see how the reader views my work. The comments that were most useful would be in the projects we are doing, they help me see if I need to add more or take some things out in my project. Since this is a big project a lot of different feedback from people helps mold a good project.

2.       I feel like my comments and feedback give the writer a different view on my thoughts and it also helps them brainstorm more than from their initial thoughts. Good feedback strategies would be to focus on the main parts of the writing and make sure everything flows well and makes sense from start to finish. Looking at other’s writing and giving feedback helps my juices in my brain run too.

3.       I do not get a sense of getting to know people by blogs because when I am on the computer it is in a more literature stance than a social connecting aspect. But I am happy with my introduction post, I like to share my life with people especially if things in my life are the reason to my happiness.

4.       I think my feedback is pretty good, I like give back feedback because that helps the writer expand their mind. I do not want to make any chances to my blog. I would only like to chance the basic look that we started off with and I want to make it more of my personality.

I picked this picture because other people's feedback helps we brain storm and get my juices in my head working. You can say feedback for me helps me think outside the box. There may have been a thought I had but could ever wrap my finger around it and reading their feedback could spark that thought back up.

"Week 8 Reading and Writing"

1.     

  Looking back: Throughout the semester, the reading and writing assignments were interesting and sometimes were hard to pick and navigate through the website we used for this class. But I enjoyed finding stories that dealt with animals and remaking the story or even writing up a summary of the story. My favorite reading so far has been the one’s that deals with “Ramayana: Dasharatha's Karma. This story has to deal with a father who was cursed to lose his lose in the future”. And yes, the reading notes help we see the overall summary of the story and it makes it easier to write up the same story with different characters in it. A few reading/research strategies I discovered that being able to read a story and take notes on it first will make it a lot easier when it’s time to rewrite it. the researching strategies is still in a working progress because you learn new things about researching every day. Yes, I am happy with my class project, I finally understand how to do it correctly. But I am not sure if we our supposed to have more than one story on it right now? My biggest writing accomplishment in this class would be sentence formatting, and checking for grammatical errors. I think the more I write the better I catch my mess ups.

3.       Looking Forward: I need to take my time in reading through all the instructions to get a full understanding of the assignment. I usually get confused because they’re so many different links to click on and read. But as the weeks past I get more familiar with the way the website is set up.
