Class Assignments

 After reading through the core assignments and extra credit opportunities in this class, I'm excited to get started. With the storytelling assignments, I feel that my creativity will be tested. As a PR major, creativity is important so this will be good practice. In previous classes, I've had to comment on other people's discussions, which is similar to commenting on others' blogs. The storytelling and overall project's will likely challenge me, but I plan to tackle them with a growth mindset!

Growth mindsets are often thought of as a sprouting plant, while fixed mindsets are seen as a lock.

 I'm intrigued by the Growth Mindset, HEART and Famous Last Words extra credit options. These will challenge me to reflect on how I'm doing throughout the semester, and will be fun to read at the end of the year!

    Growth mindset is SUCH a powerful theme in storytelling... one of the growth mindset challenges for extra credit, in fact, is to look at the stories you are reading in class in terms of growth mindset: which characters have a growth mindset? who is stuck in their fixed mindset? how do they respond to mistakes and criticism? It's a powerful theme for understanding life AND for constructive/analyzing stories! :-)

I love PR because, as a very social person, it is very relationship and communication driven. Although I was born in the random place that is Helena, Montana, I have grown up most of my life in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Here, I attended Union High School and met some of my very best friends. Growing up, gymnastics and cheerleading had a huge impact on my life. After doing gymnastics from age 3-14, I switched over to cheerleading in high school. My senior year I cheered competitively with both Union Varsity Cheer and Twist & Shout Diamonds , which took up a ton of my time (click on that link to see my competitive chee...

Reading Notes: Mr. Miacca, Reading B

This story is about a boy that sometimes was a troublemaker. His mom always told him that if he kept being bad, Mr. Miacca would take him from the street while he was playing outside. Mr. Miacca threw Tommy (the boy) in a bag and took him to his home. He tells the boy he's going to eat him for dinner, and tells his wife Sally that he has dinner ready. Mr. Miacca realizes he forgot herbs to put on the boy, so he tells his wife to watch Tommy while he goes and gets some. Tommy talks to Sally about if her husband always eats boys, and she says yes. Tommy tells Sally she should like pudding instead, and offers his mom's homemade pudding for her. Sally is foolish and let's Tommy convince her to go home and fetch her some pudding then come right back. Tommy was then free from Mr Miacca until he was bad once again. Mr Miacca. Photo from Wikipedia. Tommy got snatched by Mr Miacca again, and Mr Miacca is angry with him about running away. Tommy was supposed to get boiled, but ...
