Reflections

I did not know what to expect when taking an online class, I kind of thought it would be easy and I wouldn't take away a lot from it, but I was wrong about both of those things. I had a very rough start... and middle, but a strong finish.
One thing that I am most proud of in this class is my storybook. It was another one of those things I had a rough start on, but I really enjoy the way it turned out. Its so fun to retell stories in first person, as the people who actually lived the story. I did a lot of research on the characters in my storybook so I could write with the same attitude that they would have. There wasn't much information on Andromeda, so it was cool making up a personality for her. Medea was defiantly a fun character to write as, but a little scary. She was pretty ruthless, but a lot of mythological characters are. Engagement stories always make me cry, because I am a huge softy, and I am glad I could make my own engagement story website.
The storytelling was also one of my favorite aspects of the class. I reminded me of being little and making up creative stories. All the different cultures we read about was also super cool.
My advise to future students would be to actually do the work when you are supposed to because it is interesting stuff and fun to learn about!
