Story Book Favorites

Story Book Favorites:

I really enjoyed browsing through this website. I think that it was really well done and focused on a very important topic. For all of these topics, I tried to focus on sites about women, that is how I ended up with the topics that I did. I tend to focus on female-driven literature, so there is a good chance that for my own site that I may do something related to women in the stories. This site had great stories, easy readability, and was very accessible. I really liked the formatting and that everything was linked to everything else, rather than overwhelming the home page.

The First Feminists:

Like I previously stated, I wanted to focus on female-driven works, so something about the first feminists really appealed to me. I really liked this site because it was broken up into the different interviews. I wish that there was more to see, visually speaking, but it is a pretty sound website. I think there a few critiques that I would make, but as a whole, it is really well done. I think that the storytelling and writing is certainly the strongest part of the entire site. I love how the dialogue is done. I also really enjoyed how some of the stories have Youtube videos included for extra added detail.

Epic Women:

First off, I really enjoyed the yellow and black color scheme. It was a bit harsh on the eyes, but it was still very readable. The entire page is rather accessible and easy to navigate, and I appreciate the imagery that the author provided. This website is probably my favorite, especially visually speaking. The stories, although some short, were also really well done. Overall, this site had the best imagery, best visuals, and the best layout, font choice, and font size. To me, the attention to typography detail is just as important as the story content, so I appreciate the effort that the creator put in.

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher Hey everyone! My name is Mikayla Chandler. I am a secondary language arts education major going into my senior year here at OU. In addition to being a full-time student, I am also in my first year of coaching wrestling. Although I am a coach on a team of boys and girls, I primarily focus on my attention on the ladies on the team. Although I chose to not wrestling in college, I spent the majority of my life around wrestling and was competitive from ages 10 to 18. I was born and raised here in Norman, so it has always been a dream of mine to obtain a degree from OU. I have one dog but would certainly love to get more. Her name is Verona and she is a Lab/Pitbull mix that showed up one day and never left. One of my major interests is in American Sign Language; I took two years in college and I wish I could afford to take more classes. I love knowing another language, it makes me feel more connected to the worl...

Topic Brainstorm

Topic Brainstorm: The Women of Indian Epics: So, part of the reason I am so interested in the women of Indian epics is because of how they are classified, categorized, and how they are talked about. I also saw a lot about this topic in the previous topics, as well as the readings. I think that there is plenty of resources online and through the course, material to learn plenty about the topic, such as The Women of the Ramayana . I think that there is a lot to learn from the perspective of women throughout Indian literature, folklore, and stories. I have some previous knowledge on this topic from a World Literature class, but my knowledge is limited. The Animals of Indian Epics: I am very interested in how Indian Epics use animals for storytelling, to convey a metaphor, and as actors to tell "grown-up stories". After reading Animals of Indian Mythology I figured that there must be cultural importance to certain animals, as ...
