Week 2: Famous Last Words

My reading for this week:

The reading for this week went really well. I enjoyed reading Cupid and Psyche's story. I finished both portion of my reading. I also enjoyed the extra reading unit where I read some Brothers Grimm stories. What I remember best about the reading was part where Psyche found out who her husband really was. I thought it was the most exciting part. Regarding my Reading Diary strategy, I did not like how I did it at first. I wrote a lot more than I should have and didn't focus on what I specifically liked and focused instead on summarizing. I think for the upcoming week, I will do it in bullet form so that I can look over it and get a clearer idea of what my thoughts were. 

My best writing for this week:

I thoroughly enjoyed the week 2 storytelling of my story unit. I liked trying to imagine myself as Cupid in order to write his diary entry. This was my first time writing in this point of view and I think it was a great experience!

Other people's writing: I read a story that was written about a nursery rhyme by one of my fellow classmates, Amanda. It was called The Beginning and I liked her storytelling style. It had a very good hook and ending. The story was very open-ended, which left me wanting to read more of it. 

My other classes: 

My other classes are going relatively well. It has been a little difficult keeping up with assigned readings for other classes because I have had a lot of meetings since classes started but I plan on remedying that this Labor Day weekend. I have been on top of the homework so that I don't lose any points, so everything should be a-okay!
