Class Assignments Info

 I think the assignment that I am most excited about is the class project. I think it will be super fun to come up with my own version of a short story! I already have several ideas for what I want my story to be about, but I will not spoil the surprise by telling you yet! I also can't wait to see what my other classmates come up with for their projects! 

This class is unlike any other class I have had while at OU, and honestly I really think I like the way it is set up. This class is not the traditional way of teaching, but I think that more students will benefit and enjoy the class this way! 

My favorite extra credit option for this class is the Famous Last Words. I actually keep a diary at home, so I like having the option to self-reflect on everything from the past week. This gives me a change to vent if something irritated me, or to think about what I could do better for the next week. I also like the Wikipedia Trail assignment. My English professor called this "going down the rabbit hole" when you start on one website and end up on something completely different! 


This is the "Rabbit Hole" I spoke about above from the blog KDnuggets.

I haven't quite decided which I find more exciting. As a kid, I grew up watching Criminal Minds, 48 hours, and NCIS most nights. My mother of course did not want me watching those things because I was 6 years old, but when she would go to sleep I would sneak into the living room and turn on the crime channel. I have always been fascinated by the idea that a normal person can suddenly turn into a violent killer. I have studied many famous killers like Ted Bundy for example. For my 9th birthday I got this really big book filled with all the most popular serial killers to date. Needless to say I read that thing everyday.  It is safe to say that my favori

Week 7 Story: The Snake and the Mouse

Image
Here is the link to this story on my portfolio!  Once upon a time, deep in the Jungle of Asia there was a snake who ruled the jungle. He was big and strong, and could eat anything he wanted. One day the snake was slithering along the jungle floor to the river to find something to eat. A mouse was bathing near the river and saw the snake come slithering his direction. The mouse was frightened and thought to himself "what can I do to defend myself against the snake? I am very small and not strong."  The mouse decided to approach the snake instead of letting the snake come to him.  "Hello" said the mouse.  "Why hello there you delicious looking mouse" smirked the snake. "Is there anything you wish to say before I swallow you up?" "Why yes there is. Little do you know that I am in fact the most powerful mouse in the jungle." said the mouse as he fluffed out his fur and made himself as big as he could. "I can jump from tree to tree and
