Reading Week 7: Marabharata Part C

 


This week's reading of part C of the Mahabharata was rather fascinating. I really have enjoyed all of the readings this week and really value all of the stories that are being told. Although there has not been a lot that I can use for my portfolio so far, there are certain elements of storytelling that I have found that I would like to incorporate into my project. For example, jealousy being a huge theme of the story is something that I could write about. I could retell this story from an animal kingdom's perspective. Rather than searching for animals myself, I could just rewrite the story to fit into the world of animals. For this specific story, I think that I could change the characters to the animal that best suits their personality. I think some people are loyal dogs, and some people are vicious predators. Each character should feel self-explanatory. Overall, I really enjoyed this reading.

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...

Week Thirteen: Back up and Review

  Thoughts:     Some of my favorite videos on the internet are Crash Course videos. I LOVE these videos as a classroom tool. I really enjoy learning more about history through different avenues, and I really feel that Crash Course History has some of the most accessible lessons on the internet. I learned that basically anywhere there is a civilization, there is likely to be a historical flood associated with that civilization. Almost every major civilization we know of has been ravished by a flood, and they always see it as symbolic in some sort of lore. This is my last blog post for the semester and my last post for this class ever. I have taken this class twice now, so I am sort of attached to this class in a weird way since it has been part of my daily routine for the last year, practically. Overall, as my last post, I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have this course as an option for my Gen-ed course work.  Video:    Flood Legends of the Americas...
