Week 8: Reading and Writing

Tibetan Buddhist Tantric Wrathful Diety
Source: Wrathful Diety
I chose this specific image because to me, the wrathful Buddhist deities are the more intriguing ones, they tend to be the ones that people do not spend time focusing on. I was also inspired by Life of the Buddha readings that I scheduled to be completed during Week five

       Overall, the reading and writing assignments are helping me stay on track for the entire course. These readings are specifically helpful to me as a future educator who wants to incorporate more diverse literature in the classroom. I think taking the reading notes helps with the story aspect, and I really like that a lot of what we do is story-telling, a medium that I am not exceptionally good at. As for my blog, I tweaked the layout and design and it is, to me, a lot more visually satisfying. My project website is sort of underwhelming, and I would say could use some work. I intend to put some work into it for the upcoming week. My writing for the project thus far has been hit or miss. I edited my introduction page for my website heavily as well as adding my first story. I ended up really liking how my story turned out, as it changed the entire meaning of the fable. I would say that my biggest accomplishment for the class would be simply fine-tuning my writing skills and being more conscious about my use of punctuation. My favorite readings as a whole have been about Buddhism, my overall favorite has been The Monkey King. The strategies that I have discovered have mostly been about proof-reading. Overall, at this point in the semester, I am just trying to stay afloat.

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,...
