Week Twelve Reading: The Hypocritical Cat

 

    For this week's choice of free reading, I went back to last week, which got messed up due to the ice storm and the election, etc. I went with the story that caught my attention the most, The Hypocritical Cat, because of the name to be honest. I feel like all cats would be very hypocritical if they could be. I wanted to dive into more of the Jataka tales because they have become my favorite stories. I almost wish that for my project I had chosen to make a portfolio of the Jataka tales, as opposed to just random animals. I think these stories encompass much more moral storytelling, rather than random bits of stories. I really enjoyed this story because it is about exactly what it sounds like. I want to use this story in place of the previous story that I figured I might want to use in my project. This is just a backup for now, but there is a good chance that this could be the story that I decide to go with. This story is very whimsical and tells a really good story that would be fit for children to learn from, but also for adults to be able to take something out of. I think it would be neat to re-write the story from the perspective of the rats, or maybe set the story in a human group. There is a lot of things that I could do with this story in order to tell a new and revised story, just with different characters.

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...
