Looking Back
I love the reading assignments we do in this class, especially since we choose which stories we want to read from a huge list! It gives us options so that is always nice! My favorite reading has probably been the West African Folktales, just because there were so many origin stories! I like learning about how other cultures explain how a certain object or habit within animals became a thing, so that was really fun. My reading notes help a little when it comes to writing a story, but mostly I just brainstorm ideas during the week or even while I write the story. I am very happy with my class project because I am trying a storybook this semester, while last semester in Indian Epics I did a portfolio. It's an interesting and new experience, and so far it's going great :) My biggest accomplishments are just publishing stories in my blog or in my storybook. Every time I write a story, I feel accomplished at the end because I know I created something original inspired by something from a different culture.
Looking Forward
I may try to take my reading notes in a different way, such as in bullet points and try to come up with new settings and new plot stories! I may try to do more modern stories, or even throw it back to ancient times! I may speak about celebrities or college students! Who knows. I like trying new things; sometimes ideas pop into my head and sometimes they don't. I just let my mind wander each week into new possibilities.
