Class Improvements

- Change Review Weeks to Planning Weeks: I like the idea of this change. I found that filling out the questionnaire about when we planned to do our work was helpful but in a lot of cases the canvas due dates did not line up with my plans. I would suggest moving the Monday reading to Sunday that way only 1 reading must be done during the week. I think this would be helpful to the students that do their work on the weekends.

-Expand the Story Planning Option: I loved when you implemented this option! I found it extremely helpful. Having this option allows for me to get the points for the week without having to write a story. I found that writing a story takes quite a bit longer than simply planning one. This helped on my busy weeks and ultimately led to me writing better stories.

The other three ideas I am not especially for or against.

Portfolio Introduction

This is my favorite story that I have written and many people have told me it is my best work. This is a story inspired by "Elephant Stories" that I mixed with a little bit of OU football and I added a touch of Texas sucking. If you enjoy hearing about Texas losing then you will enjoy this story. Read "Never Trust a Longhorn" here.

This story is a play off "A Monkey King's Sacrifice" mixed with a bit of Nicolas Cage and some National Treasure. Naturally due to the mix of concepts I have named this story Nicolas Cage's Sacrifice.


This story is about a man named Stan. It was inspired by the story "Rama Wins Sita." It is about a man named Stan that use to live in a van but now is married to the princess and is heir to the king's throne.
