Assignments Overview

       I am so excited about this semester! I have been looking forward to creating and maintaining a blog for a while. My first impressions have been very good, the course material is interesting, the formatting is new and unique to me, and the grading is different from anything I have ever personally encountered. So far, this course is very refreshing, and far from what I have been socialized to expect from an online course. I am very intrigued by the general set up of the class the assignments as a whole. The most intriguing part is probably simply the blog post format to everything. This is entirely unlike anything I have done in any other class, I have had an online class here at OU before, and one at OCCC, and neither could even come close to this classes set up. I like some of the extra credit options, I really just like that there is an opportunity for extra credit, but I am personally interested in the microfiction option.

  1. I'm also excited to participate in this course this semester! The format is unlike any other course I've taken before here at OU or Eastern Oklahoma State University! I really appreciate how flexible the course is to fit into our busy schedules. Also, the extra credit opportunities permit us to catch up on missed assignments or get head and finish the class early! Overall, I think it'll be a fun class this semester, and it'll be a nice change of pace from my other classes.

Introduction to a Future Teacher, Ex Wrestler

Hello Friends!         My name is Mikayla Chandler, I am a Junior here at the University of Oklahoma, and I am studying Secondary Language Arts Education. My go-to fun fact? I wrestled for 8 wonderful years of my life on an all-boys wrestling team. The years I spent wrestling were some of the most formative years of my life. If I was not studying to become a teacher right now, I would be training for the 2020 Olympics. The coolest thing about my major? I get to do what I love for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to teach English (hopefully on the high school level) to the next generation of young adults. I think it is beyond cool that I get the opportunity to become a teacher, I cannot think of anything I would rather be doing. Last semester I was enrolled in 18 hours while working nearly full-time, so I guess I am not really sure what class is my favorite, they all made me cry regularly. My favorite class was honestly probably my Young Adult Literature class, taught by Dr. Bain

Week 5 Story: The Modern Buddha

Buddha Figure:  Source          Of course, everyone knows the story of THE Buddha. But what about those doing good for others without recognition. Those people who do right in the world without anyone ever knowing? Well, that is what my brother aimed to do when we were young. We are old and tired now, but when we were young, my brother and I would travel around to the poorest areas in the villages at night. We would drop off bread, clean water, and other necessary material goods. We wanted to be anonymous. Of course, we went our separate paths and I got married and had children, but my brother devoted his life to the public without ever once being publicly known, he never wanted any fame or fortune, he did not want the attention. In fact, he wanted quite the opposite. My brother is dead and gone now, so that is why I have finally decided to tell his story.       My brother went to jail at age 17 and was away for 6 years. I do not want to go into the details, but he wanted to corr
