Reading Plans: Week 9 - 10

I find Native American tales to be very interesting, especially since we go to school in Oklahoma and the history is so rich here. 

When exploring the reading options for Week 9-10, two units caught my attention.

1. Marriage Tales: I chose this topic because all of the tales are about marriage between animals, and I have been enjoying reading a lot of the animal stories in this class.
2. American Indian Tales: I want to read this unit because they are a collection of children's fairy tales, and I want to see how they similar and different to fairy tales today.

Blog Ideas

After reviewing my blog I realized that there are a lot of ways that I could improve my blog. My blog is not very personalized, so I have a lot of room for improvement in that area. My layout needs to be renovated because I never changed it from the generic option I was given when first setting up my blog.

The following people had really great layouts for their blogs and have given me a lot of ideas:

Macey Davis

Adrienne Crawford

Ally

Managing My Time

One of the most important things I have realized while taking this course is how to manage my time. There are so many deadlines that it is extremely important not to fall behind. 

However, since I am a senior I have a very light load when it comes to school work. So I have found that the best strategy for me is to sit down every night before bed and do an assignment. I spend close to an hour every night, but that works for me because this class is really the only homework I ever have. 

I am going to continue with this strategy for the second half of the semester!
