Indian Epics

1. So far I am proud of my writing for this class. I really enjoy this outlet to be creative and grow in my writing abilities. I do not have a great weekly schedule right now because I just started a new job and its thrown my whole schedule out of whack. I've been using the Growth Mindset extra credit options and the Learning by H.E.A.R.T extra credit options. Not only have they been a great way to make up points. but I've learned a lot and even found a new blog I like: Writers Write. I really enjoy creating and tailoring both my blog and my project website. 2. For the second half of the semester (are we really half-way through?) I want to be more organized and motivated. I love this. Web Source.

1. Overall, I would say the feedback I am receiving has been both positive and helpful. I prefer the blog comments because they are more conversational. They are a great way to hear how other students in the class share the same interests as you. 2. I think I have been giving great feedback... but I'm biased. 3. As tedious as blog commenting is, it is very cool to see the wide array of personalities in this class. 4. Looking forward, I need to continue to try to provide helpful and positive feedback.

Overall, this class has been going well. I have found the reading more challenging this semester. I think it is a combination of both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata being so long and the public versions so disjointed. I have enjoyed writing stories about these characters. This semester, I've taken more advantage of the extra credit opportunities. So far, I really like my project. It is so fun to tell a story in a way it has never been done. I've enjoyed being creative with the use of GIFs as the background of my stories. I think my biggest accomplishment was my story Sita Sings Pop. It was really fun to write and came out really well (at least in my {very biased} opinion). I also really enjoyed the video that inspired this story, Sita Sings the Blues. I hate taking reading notes. In the future, I just need to keep track of due dates and not fall behind. Image from the Mahabharata. Wikipedia .
