Week 8 Comments and Feedback

1. Feedback in
I read a fair amount of my feedback and my favorite, most helpful comments are the ones with suggestions about how to change certain things in my writing. This feedback always makes sense and it is something I can work with.

2. Feedback out
I always try to add a comment or question in my comments so I think that is helpful for the writer. I have been taking advantage of the two different feedback strategies. I think my favorite and the one I use the most is the WWW. It is a strategy that makes giving feedback not so difficult.

3. Blog comments
The blog and storybook comments have been a great way to learn about the people in this class. You can kind of tell what a person enjoys by the way they write and what they decide to write about. One person writes their storybook like a broadcast so maybe they are into news writing and another person changes the classic mythological stories to a more feminist view. It has become an interesting way to get closer to our classmates and I have been enjoying it.

4. Looking forward
I want to spend more time trying to understand the stories we are writing to give more helpful feedback. Going over the feedback strategies is definitely a helpful way to remind myself how to give comments or questions.

I think this image does a great job of depicting growth mindset. If we can think of failure as a way of growing then failure does not stop us. Failing should mean that we are working to change ourselves.

Introduction to the plant fiend

Image of myself My name is Lindsi Unsell. I am a senior at The University of Oklahoma and I am studying Communications.

I have actually noticed myself become a better communicator and have been more aware of how others communicate around me. As a senior, I am both excited and nervous to have such limited time in school left. I feel so happy that I have come this far successfully and I can see the light at the end of this stressful yet rewarding tunnel. I also work at The Oklahoma Daily as a copy editor and hope to try my hand at some writing for the newspaper this final semester. The Daily has been one of the most rewarding things I have done at OU. I have met a niche group of people that help me connect with others outside of school that I may not have gotten the chance to meet otherwise. I love being a part of the school newspaper because I feel so much more aware of events going on locall...

Week 9 Story: The Shark and the Seal

Bibliography: This story is originally written by A. L. Shelton as The Tiger and the Frog Seal escaping jaws of shark There was once a very old shark that was making its way to the reef to fill its stomach. The shark had not eaten in a couple of days and felt very weak indeed. As the shark was gliding through the sparkling blue waters a baby seal up ahead saw him and became very frightened. The seal quickly came up with a plan as the shark drew near. The shark was about to pass by when the seal squeaked, "what are you up to?" The shark slowly turned around and said, "I am in search for food. I have not eaten in two days and I feel very weak. You would be a good meal but you are very small." The seal made sure to puff out its chest when it said, "I am the king of seals. I am strong. To test this lets see who can make it across that trench the quickest." The shark accepted this trial and made to burst off across the the trench. Before the shark sped ...
