Reading plan

My tentative reading schedule will start with the Native American Unit in week 9 with Regional Anthologies with the Great Plains. I plan to continue reading in week 10 with the same unit but explore Thematic Anthologies Hero Tales. I like stories about heroes and heroines so I think I will find this section the most interesting in the Native American Unit.  In the next unit, British, I am interested in reading the hero tales; especially those about Robin Hood and Beowulf because I enjoyed the story of Robin Hood as a child. In week 12 I would read the Celtic Tales. In week 13 and 14 I would be reading the European Unit. In this Unit I would like to read Brothers Grimm since that is what inspired my storybook. I think the hunt and Crane Units would be entertaining. The Italian Fairy tales would be my next choice.

Reflections: Looking foward

Looking Back:

In this 8 week of class I find myself being a tad behind. Last week I struggled because I had a huge lab practical and a test that consumed most of my time. I was not very successful at juggling that and doing my homework over the weekend. I usually do most of my homework at my friends or at my own home. I do not utilize the library as much as I probably should because I tend to only be on campus for short periods of time. I like the class being online and that you can work at your own pace. My favorite readings have probably been from the Aesop (Winter) Fables. I liked those because it was stories I had heard when I was a child. They also helped inspired my storybook choice. One of my favorite stories I wrote was about the Old Oak Tree. I liked that I was able to tell my audience a piece of information about my hometown.

 Looking Forward:

I would like to try new strategies such as making an actual schedule of my time. I think this would help me to get my assignments turned in on time and to better prepare for class. I struggle with donating time after work to do online assignments because I get easily distracted by other things that need to be done at home. I think this is where it would be beneficial to go to the library or another setting to do my homework. I will continue to work with new strategies to finish my work on time. I do not like worrying about homework even though sometimes it does get pushed to the “back burner.”
