Week 8 Comments and Feedback

(Image Information: Growth Mindset Memes)

Feedback Thoughts:

I have received some good feedback from my classmates this semester. Overall, I would rate the feedback a 7, because some of the comments I'm receiving are mostly just compliments, which is great, but not helpful, and sometimes the comments that contain actual feedback are a little bit unclear. The comments I find most useful contain actual feedback on what I can do better. Compliments are great too, I guess the best comment would have both!

I would rate the quality of my feedback to others students a 7 as well because I don't think I'm any better than my classmates so if I feel like what I'm getting deserves a 7, what I'm giving probably deserves the same. I think I need to focus more on giving constructive criticism, instead of just telling them what I liked. 

I am definitely getting good ideas from other peoples writing. I think reading is the best way to improve your writing because as you read you are constantly absorbing new ideas and writing styles.

I think that reading and commenting on each others posts, does allow us to get to know each other a bit. It's hard to really get to know everyone online but this is a good strategy to get us a little bit familiar with each other. 

Looking forward, I think I might change my comment wall to look more receptive/inviting. It's pretty plain right now so I might add some more pictures and writing. 
I think I need to improve my feedback by making sure every time I comment I leave actual, critical advice, in a nice way!

Introduction to A Crazy Cat Lady

Image
(Image Information: Cat Selfie) My name is Ann Marie.  Here are some facts about me: I am 19 and currently pursuing a dual degree in Linguistics and French at OU.  I love books, and consider myself a crazy cat lady.  I am passionate about women's rights and LGBTQ rights.  I work as a server in a restaurant, and though my job is mentally taxing, it can also be fun.   (Image Information: Books , 2010) Some of my favorite authors are J.K. Rowling (duh), Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, Cassandra Clare, and Rick Riordan. I've been especially into Rick Riordan lately! This summer, I decided to reread the Percy Jackson series. From there I could not stop. I have since read and reread every YA book he has out, and I am also following his Rick Riordan Presents imprint series, in which he reads and edits YA mythology books by other authors, and then adds them to the Rick Riordan Presents collection, allowing new or relatively unknown au...

Week 9 Story: Alex, the Boy Who Stole Fox Power

(Image Information: Fox Face,  Flickr ) (Image Information: Fox Close Up,  Maxpixel ) Hello. My name is Alex and this is my story about fox power.  It was nearly forty years ago. I was a young boy, about thirteen. My family lived out in the country in the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma. My mother had always loved animals, and she was constantly adopting them because she couldn't stand to see them hungry. We had sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, goats...you name it, and we probably kept it as a pet. The one creature we'd never cared for was foxes. Back then, there weren't many foxes in our part of the woods.  One day I'm out feeding and watering the animals, something I don't particularly like doing but have to do anyway. The pig has gone and knocked her water bin over, so I've gotta climb the fence to her pen and turn it over for her. I'm struggling in the mud, trying to right the dang thing. It's heavy, and my feet are slipping in the mud and ...
