Topic Brainstorm

I have decided to do a portfolio over a storybook, because I like the idea of writing different things, instead of sticking to one topic.

Topic Idea 1: Biblical. I have always loved biblical stories, and would love to create my own. As I was reading through some of the stories in https://www.diigo.com/profile/lauragibbs/?query=%23Unit%3ABiblical, it really peaked my interest. I have previous knowledge in a lot of biblical stories, but I am really excited to learn about more. I think one story that I would love to make into my own would be Noah's Arc.

Topic Idea 2: Classical, (Greek). I love learning about Greek mythology in particular, and was really interested in these stories. I have read some Greek mythology, but would need to do more reading before I write my stories. I think this would be great to create new characters based on Greek Gods and goddesses in my life. https://sites.google.com/view/modernmyths/home This was one of the stories I did my first blog post on, and would love to create something like this.

Topic 3: Classical, (Roman). http://mythfolklore.blogspot.com/2014/05/myth-folklore-unit-apuleiuss-cupid-and.html This story peaked my interest, because of the crossover of fairytale with Roman mythology. I loved the story "Beauty and the Basilisk", and from what I have read, this seems very similar. I had a great time writing my own rendition of that story, so I know I would enjoy this as well.

Topic 4: http://mythfolklore.blogspot.com/2014/06/myth-folklore-unit-american-indian.html This interested me because of the fairytale aspect as well. This topic I am least familiar with, and would need to do much more research on before writing any stories.

Greek God Poseidon.

Introduction- Haley Weger

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

Week 11 Story: The Evil Fish

The Evil Fish. Once upon a time, 12 little fish lived in a big giant pond. These fish were very very small, smaller than most perch or bait fish. The fish were all very timid, and scared of the big pond. The big pond was also a family member of theirs: their grandmother. But, the grandmother pond was not only inhabited by the 12 little fish. She also was the home to six big huge, evil garfish. These fish were mean, and they always tried to eat the little fish. They would chase the little fish and scare them. They would back them into corners of the pond, and separate them from the group of 12. The small fish had finally had enough. They begged their grandmother river to help them. She knew this would not be an easy task, as the garfish were surprisingly clever. But, she loved her grand-fish, and would do anything to help them. She racked her brain for an idea to outsmart the garfish, and save her baby fish, and finally came up with one. She called upon the clouds above her,...
