  Madison, WI: Wikimedia Commons I am very happy with my progress so far. I have completed all weekly tasks as well as a few extra credit assignments, so I am ahead overall. I generally stick to a weekly routine, but sometimes my lab work changes my schedule. However, this has not really brought any stress to me, as I do not mind working on this class! So far, my favorite part of the class has been the Storybook project. I really enjoy the topic I have chosen and love writing the stories for it. As of now, there is not really anything major I want to change. I would love to improve my story writing, such as adding in more dialogue and imagery. I might play around with my Website to make it "prettier" at some point, but I still think it looks nice. I chose this image of Madison, WI as my motivation to push for the end of the semester. I did this because I am moving there in May! My husband and I love the area and cannot wait for the beginning of our lives there. We have actual...

  Feedback Overall, I believe my feedback is generally helpful. Sometimes the comments are just nice, but that is also motivational! The best feedback in my opinion has been when people question my writing. I do not find this offensive, I just find it as a challenge to become better! I have been trying to leave nice comments that also have at least one tip or question. I believe these type of comments are the best because you learn from it as well as feel good about your writing! I have definitely gotten ideas from other people, such as incorporating more dialogue into my stories. This has helped make my stories much more intriguing.  I am for sure getting to know people and am beginning to recognize people's names. I have actually recognized some people from other classes as well as extracurricular activities. I am happy with my blog, as I feel like it really captures me. I did have to update it because I am moving somewhere else now than when I originally wrote the post! The...

  Lakshmi and her Owl My favorite reading so far has definitely been The Ramayana . I really enjoyed the entire story as well as all of the characters. The love between Rama and Sita was captivating, especially since he spends the latter of the story searching for her all over the world. Overall, I am pretty happy with my Blog as well as my Storybook. I am really excited to write the rest of my Storybook, as I have planned out my next two stories. Writing these have definitely helped me with utilizing dialogue as well as incorporating imagery. I wrote my Lakshmi and her Owl story on my Storybook, and I really enjoyed how it turned out. I think I was able to create a better story since my reading notes were excellent for remembering certain aspects of the book. I think as I progress in the class, I want to get even better at using dialogue. I believe it really adds to the story and will help the reader truly imagine the story I am telling.
