Week Nine Extra Credit Reading

 


    This reading was very interesting! Although I am not sure how I will be able to incorporate this into my own storybook, I am still really glad I read this story. The story is interesting because oftentimes the king of the story isn't killed off in this manner. King Krishna was meditating in the woods when a hunter mistook him for a deer and gets shot at. The region descends into chaos after this happens, there is a great wave that swallows the city and everything is up in arms and uncertain. In his early life, Krishna was one of the greatest heroes of India so he left behind a great legacy, But of course, this is Indian mythology so nothing is really as simple as it seems. There is much more than meets the eye with Krishna's death and nothing will remain the same. I really enjoyed this story, overall, although it was not my favorite. I have enjoyed other stories much more in the past, but this one was not bad. I do not think I will write a story about it, but I still really enjoyed it.

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...
