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.

Week 15 Story: The King and His Queen/ Daughter

 Once upon a time, a King lived with his beautiful queen. Not only was she the most beautiful woman in all of the land, but she had the prettiest long, golden hair. Sadly, the queen was ill and was about to die. Before she died she begged her husband, "if you marry again, don't marry anybody as beautiful as me, and nobody with beautiful golden hair like mine." The King promised her this, right before she died. The King was devastated by the loss of the queen, and could not even think about remarrying. But, his councillors told him he would have to marry again so they could have a queen. They told him that he would have to start looking, because it wasn't right without a queen on the throne. He sent his servants all over the world to try to find a woman that was even half as beautiful as his late wife. But sadly, nobody could find a woman like her. Even the prettiest ones they could find did not have the long, golden hair like the queen. All of the servants came home o...

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 8 Comments and Feedback

I think the comments in feedback in this class are really helpful. It is great for me to get the comments that I can think about for my next story, or work on the revisions in those stories. I think the comments that are most helpful are the ones with suggestions to help either that story, or the next story. I have been trying to give constructive criticism, as well as point out the things I really like. This way, it may inspire some revisions, as well as keep the things that work really well, and look really great. It has been really cool to get to know the class in a different way, since we don't meet in person. But, reading everybody's writing and comments are a really cool way to get to know people in a different way.  I think this meme perfectly expresses how I feel in this class. It is easy for me to take criticism, because everybody is so helpful, and you can tell that everybody cares about each other's stories. ( cheezburger )
