Commenting Review Week

• I do feel that commenting with other students in class is helping to make good connections.
• I think the introduction comments are the best way to get to know someone in this situation.
• The most useful comments I've seen on my blog post have been those directed at grammatical errors or other quick fixes.
• When I leave a comment on someone's blog I try to find at least one or two things they did well but find at least one improvement.
• When I leave a comment on someone's project i try to focus on the overall look of the story and then I search for smaller errors.
• I do not do a lot of commenting on other student's work in my other classes.
• I try to look at the comments and take others suggestions when i revise my writing.
• I think the commenting portion of this class is pretty good. I don't think that I would change it.

Writing Review Week

• I feel that my writing has improved through practice this semester.
• I would just like to continue improving my writing during the second part of the semester.
• A strategy that worked well for me in my stories was thinking about possible tales I could tell when I was reading about a new character.
• I do believe that the feedback I have been getting has definitely helped me fine tune my writing.
• Negative feedback helps me the most for my writing. Improving specific details or even the format of my whole story.
• The most challenging part of writing for me is sentence structure.
• I do like being able to create a story that's my own. That is the most rewarding part of writing for me.

I chose this picture because I loved how Ravana gets defeated so easily by King Arjuna. He's too cocky and I am glad someone knocked some sense into him.

Reading Review Week

• My favorite readings were over Buck's Ramayana. 
• I liked to find things in the story that made me laugh or were comical. They were easiest to remember. Or anything else that invoked emotion.
• I did not use much of my reading diary for my storytelling assingment.
• When I look back at my reading diaries they do help me to remember the information.
• I do not read in my free time as much as I used to. I feel like I never have time to read just for fun.
• I think the reading component of the class was fine as is.
• I would recommend thinking about stories you could tell while you get introduced to the characters in the reading portion.
• I really liked this image for all the subtle details and also it is visually appealing.
