Week 8 Reading and Writing

Overall, both the reading and writing for this class have been going well. The biggest problem I have had is having a different schedule every week, which occasionally makes it hard to keep up with each assignment. However, I have enjoyed the way that the class is arranged with the reading, storytelling, and especially the project. I'm excited to see my finished project as well as the others in the class. I'm happy with my topic choice, and I still have quite a few ideas that I'm playing around with. My story could go in a variety of different directions, so my hardest choice will be deciding which one.

The reading notes have helped me tremendously almost every week. They allow me to focus on what I want to do for my weekly story. Sometimes I go in a different direction, but only because I thought about it more between the time I wrote my notes and the time I wrote my story. My favorite writing so far has been my version, which comes from the beginning, of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp. I turned the story into a news broadcast, which I thought was interesting and fun to write.

I chose this image because it came from my story post from my favorite writing this far. I liked this story most because it reminded me of the type of writing I've had to do in my major class for PR. It's not exactly the same type of writing of course, but I enjoyed it more because it had a small sense of it. 

Something that I need to do more for the future is to look at different storytelling ideas. I didn't start doing that until recently and so far I have liked the ideas.
