Week 15 Review


I love this quote! It is so happy and the painting behind it literally uses every color in the pack. I think it is good motivation for everyone during dead week and finals week. I loved being able to read the class announcements everyday. (Also always secretly hoped that my storybook would make it as storybook of the week, it never did! Haha :) )

Growth Mindset



At the end of this semester, I think I really branched out. My stories slowly became more fun and more like me. I loved writing them. I think my advice to students who are about to take this class is to not be afraid. None of the students in this class will judge you! If anything, they'll be jealous because you're story is so creative and out-of-the-box!

Class Improvements

I love love love the story planning. I think that was one of my favorite changes in this class. After writing a story planning post, I was able to think about the story for another week. In my mind, this created more original ideas and helped develop a more in-depth story.
I also agree that changing review weeks to planning weeks would be very beneficial.
Audio recordings could be fun! I like how you have them in Indian Epics, it could be a fun add on.
I also love the thematic readings. I love to read fairytales (obvious by my choice of stories this semester) so I think it would be neat to see an overall theme throughout various stories. All great ideas!
