Week 8: Comments and Feedback

Feedback Header Image: Source

So far, the feedback for this class has been rather helpful. The feedback has helped me to see grammatical errors, sentence structure errors, and other issues in my writing. All of the feedback has been both strong and positive. The most helpful types of feedback are specific critical comments that have direct instructions. For me, I think that the feedback that I leave is generally too positive. I have a tendency to not want to be critical, or harsh. I want to make sure everyone feels validated in their writing, and I would hate for someone to feel poorly about their work. As for the blog comments, it is fun to see familiar names and faces when I read my comments. Of course, there are still a few people that I have not interacted with yet, but there are plenty of people who I always look forward to. Moving forward with the class, I hope to be able to leave better feedback for my classmates. Feedback that is more critical, and less general. I hope that I can start churning out more stories here soon that I can get more feedback on.

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 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 t...
