Week 8 : Reading Plans

Reading Plans for Weeks 9 and 10 - Native American Choices 

For my weeks 9 and 10, I would like to read stories from the American Indian Fairy Tales. The American Indian Fairy Tales include stories about the Child and the Evening Star which sound interesting since I never have really read a story focused mainly around a child. I browsed through the many stories and I think I will really enjoy this unit. Plus, I love reading stories from children's storybooks!  I have also chose to read stories from Native American Marriage Tales for either week 9 or week 10. Obviously the title caught my attention because who doesn't like love stories about marriage? Also, I scrolled through and skim read some of the stories and thought it was so interesting that there were animal brides and even animal husbands! I think this unit will be very fun and investing to read!

Week 8 Blog Ideas

I think I want to make some changes to my blog.

I liked Macey's colors of her blog. She had a soft pink color background and a bold teal foreground. I also liked the video on her comment wall.

Adrienne's blog has a very vivid and bright pink color scheme. It represents her personality and sets an overall energetic and happy mood. I also liked her video and meme on her comment wall.

Jasmine's blog had an awesome layout and her name in her blog was in a cute font! I also thought it was neat that she has a weather widget on her blog with a little shopper-girl! Super cute!

I think I am going to explore different color schemes and possibly switch it to something that is energetic and fits my personality. Also I want to add more videos and memes that I find funny or that I really like. I want to also change my font and maybe add some cool widgets. Basically I really want to personalize my blog in everyday I can!

Week 8 : Time

Wow! I can't believe the spring semester is halfway over! Time really does fly! I know coming back to school after spring break is a tease because you get a little taste of summer for a week then half to get back to work immediately. I know I've always struggled with getting re-motivated again because I am so burned out. I want to manage my time well after spring break and get my assignments done earlier than normal. Sometimes I wait until the night before it is due and sometimes that works, but other times it doesn't. I also do not have class on Fridays so I need to use that day each week to get ahead for next week or at least get some studying done for another class. My goals are to finish the rest of my junior year strong, continue to stay motivated, and manage my time between school, social, and cheer well!
