Week 8 Comments and Feedback

 Overall, I have been receiving some really good feedback from other students in this class. It is most helpful when they ask questions about my story that get me thinking about what I could change or add and how to explain things better. Some people just compliment my stories, which is very kind, but it is more helpful when they give their own suggestions or say whether or not they were confused by something. I also think that I have been giving pretty good feedback. I make sure to point out what they are doing right and what I like about the story the most. I could definitely work on giving more suggestions and being more helpful, because sometimes I forget to add anything other than compliments. Reading other people's stories definitely does help me with coming up with my own ideas. I love seeing all of the different styles that people use and all of the ways in which they change the reading into their own unique stories. I definitely have felt like I have gotten to know some of the students in this class through their introduction posts. It is really interesting to see how different everyone is! I do also like that my introduction shares some facts about me and allows people to relate to me. In the future I want to work on making my comments more constructive and helpful for my peers.

I chose this image because I think it is really important to provide criticism to others and for us to accept criticism and grow from it. We should not be offended when our peers criticize us, but rather we should learn from our criticism.

Introduction to Carly the Future Counselor

Hi! My name is Carly Capulli and I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I will be graduating this December, with a major in child psychology and a minor in Spanish. Personally, I think that my major is really interesting. I get to study how the mind works and why people are the way that they are, with a specific focus on children. I absolutely love kids! I have known since I was a child that I would one day work with children in some way, and that has never changed. I have never even changed my major! After attending graduate school, my ultimate goal is to become a trauma counselor for children in the foster care system. Last semester was tough for everyone I can imagine, however I did feel very accomplished in that I achieved A's in every one of my classes, with all of them being fully online. This taught me that I am very self-disciplined and can work on my own quite well.  I do not read much and I hardly have the patience to sit through a movie, but I do have many favorite

The Cheetah and the Impala: Week 2 Story

Image
Updated story can be found at: https://sites.google.com/view/carlypotfolio/  A large, fast Cheetah ruled the desert in Africa. He was getting very frustrated because all of the animals kept hiding from him. He was so hungry, and decided that he needed to devise a plan to trap his prey. When he stumbled upon a group of Hares, the Cheetah approached kindly saying, "Hello, Hares I come in peace! I am here to warn you!" "Warn us about what?" asked the Hares.  "The Lions are coming to kill you! I want to protect you! I can get you out of here quickly!" replied the Cheetah.  "Why should we trust you? You want to eat us!" shouted the Hares.  "I have had a change of heart and I want to protect all who live in the desert." lied the Cheetah.  The Hares were far too dumb to understand the Cheetah's deceit and far too scared to think it over. In groups of three, the Hares climbed onto the back of the Cheetah and let him carry them away. However
