Week 8 Reading and Writing
Looking Back
I have enjoyed a lot of the reading and writing assignments thus far in the semester. Originally, I thought that the readings for each week would be tedious and that the reading notes assignment would not be necessary. However, I have found that this couldn't be further from the truth! Each week has brought exciting readings, and I have really appreciate the variety.
The reading notes have been extremely helpful in brainstorming ideas for my own storytelling. One strategy that I haven't employed yet that I have seen lots of other students use is transposing a story into a modern setting. People have been so creative with this, and I would like to try it out soon!
My favorite reading so far is probably Peter Pan, which I am reading for my storybook project. Each week, I am able to read a portion of the book and then use ideas to brainstorm sections for my website! Outside of that, I enjoyed some of the biblical tales as well as the trickster tales. I love how clever they are!
Some of my favorite posts were earlier on in the semester, around weeks two and three. In week two, I did a trickster tale from a unique perspective, which was a lot of fun. In week three, I retold the biblical story of Bathsheba, except with a plot twist. Both of these stories were a lot of fun!
Overall, I think that I have most enjoyed the semester project. I am thrilled that I was able to find a subject as interesting as Peter Pan, and it has been so challenging but enjoyable to reframe this classic story in a different light. I am looking forward to the upcoming additions, so stay tuned!

I think this is my favorite image that I have used so far! It made an appearance on the "Arrival in Neverland" portion of my storybook project. This image is meant to depict the magical sunset in background when Peter and the Darlings arrive in Neverland for the first time. I chose this picture because of its beauty and attractive aura. The variety of colors creates a brilliant aesthetic!
Looking Forward
One of the most helpful things to continue doing will be to form helpful reading notes. These not only make storytelling easier, but they make it more fun as well. These notes apply to both the weekly readings as well as the storybook project.
I am especially looking forward to continuing to shape my semester project!
