I really enjoyed the fables. Fables have always been my favorite, and that remains true even after this class.
I felt like I had to spend a lot of time commenting on other people's blogs, but I do understand that feedback is important.
I would recommend that students just stick to the schedule, and maybe do the extra credit to stay ahead.

Reflections Week 15
I am probably the most proud of all of the stories that I was able to read. I really enjoyed reading them, and I feel like they gave me a new perspective of sorts. I also don't feel like I would have ever had read them without the help of this class.
Week 14: Famous Last Words
I really enjoyed my reading for this week! I love fables, I always have. This week let me take advantage of that, so I got to read some more fables! I was able to finish both parts of my reading for this week with no problem, again because of how much I love fables. It is always easier to read whenever you enjoy what you are reading! The thing I remember best about the reading was a fable about a fox and sour grapes! I have heard this fable so many times, yet it always makes me laugh! There is no reason to be sour just because you cannot have something that you want. I am happy with the reading diary that I chose.
My best writing this week probably came from another class. I am currently writing my capstone, and while it is a lot of work, I am really enjoying the research. I am writing about how the high costs of tuition and fees are eroding the American Dream, and stratifying our society. I am also exploring other options to our current tertiary education system, because I think that ours could be drastically improved! I am really enjoying the research because this is something that I am so passionate about. Like I said above, it is so much easier to do something whenever you are passionate about it. My research for my capstone paper does not feel so much like research as it does reading that I am enjoying doing regardless of the fact that I have to write a paper on it. While I am enjoying the research, I am really ready to be done with it. It is due this Thursday! I included the image below because that is how I feel trying to come up with 25 pages worth of "words".

Reading Diary Week 14: Fables of La Fontaine
Fables of La Fontaine by Jean de La Fontaine
Rats hatch a plan to outsmart the cat, but none of the rats will actually carry it out. They are all too afraid. Turtle makes joke about bird, the bird picks the turtle up, flies high in the air, drops the turtle. A kite swoops down and catches a meal of flesh and fish.
I did not really enjoy the stories in this section, I don't plan to use any for my storytelling on Thursday. Which is why I did not take many notes.

Reading Diary Week 14: Fables of La Fontaine
Fables of La Fontaine by Jean de La Fontaine
Donkey tricks everyone into think that he is a lion just because he is wearing lion skin. Man figures out, is not afraid. Frog tries to inflate himself to the size of an ox fails and blows himself up. Fox tries to get some grapes, fails, and decides he did not want the grapes anyway because he says that they are sour. Hen lays golden eggs, farmer gets greedy, wants all of the egg. Kills the hen, surprise surprise it is not full of gold.
