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.

    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,...

Week 4 Story Lab: Summer of 1986

1986 Banner,  Source Story Lab; Microfiction Summer of 1986 It was not hard to make friends in a small town like Verona, Texas. When you go to school you are practically assigned a couple dozen friends for life, no one really left our small town, and no one really came in. There is something to be said about this sort of extreme consistency, but I never really found it bland. I had my couple of friends, of course, but it was more obligatory friendship rather than a close bond, and maybe that’s why I was seeking more. In the summer of 1986 my mom had heard on the radio about a few girls my age going missing in some of the neighboring towns, the reporter summed it up to them running away with their boyfriends, so mom quit allowing me to see Peter and sent me away for the summer to make some new friends. Mom said the girls who ran away with their boyfriends were just bored and needed stimulation, thus earning me a one-way ticket to the YWCA camp that a few of my friends were...
