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 7 Story: The Monkey King Continues

The Monkey King depiction:  Source        "One day I awoke. There was nothing before I existed, I was born of the rock and sculpted by the Heavens. I was a handcrafted entity that was untouchable for all my life, until now. I had my run-in with rebellion, I fought back with the Gods, I met with the Buddha, and I became a Buddha. I have a life full of journey and adventure, yet, I yearn for more."        It had been 12 years since the Monkey King had been seen, then, the news came. The Monkey King was going to come out of hiding, but only to train a new enlightened one. He would come out for just one year in order to find someone to fill his shoes, then, he would never be seen again. "I am tired of the responsibility, the weight that I carry on my shoulders is too much for one man, I need someone to carry on the torch" he exclaims, publicly to the town. "I need not this power that I carry, I will be training one new soul to take over my place, to be th
