Storybook Favorites

After browsing through many storybooks, I have identified three of my favorites.

Storybook Favorite #1: Queen of the Underworld
After reading through the introduction of this storybook, I was very intrigued on what the stories would have to offer. Greek gods and goddesses have always been interesting to me, and in this storybook introduction she identifies that many people know her husband, but not her (which was true for me). I know a little about Greek gods and goddesses, but this introduction made me want to know more. The layout of the site is easy to navigate, which helped. Overall, I think this was laid out well; however, I'm not sure this is the way I would lay mine out.

Storybook Favorite #2: Murders in the Bible
This storybook immediately caught my attention because of its title. As a Christian that believes in the Bible, I wanted to know more immediately. This website uses fonts and photos that match the storybook's overall theme, which made it even more intriguing to me. The introduction was undoubtedly an attention-grabber: I found that I couldn't stop reading until it was over. I like the way this one is set up, and it's very familiar to the first on the tabs it has for stories and the introduction. I will definitely look back to this storybook when creating my introduction because it was so enticing.

Storybook Favorite #3: Mermaidsonly.com
To be honest, I picked this storybook because of its name. After looking at the website, I think this one's hilarious! Online dating is so common these days, so creating a mermaid online dating website was relevant and funny. The pictures and testimonials used make the whole storybook seem real, and the navigations are easy to follow.

This is a screenshot I took from the storybook mermaidsonly.com of one "testimonial" from the website -- hilarious, and almost believable!

These three storybooks have made me excited to create my own and channel my inner creativity. I plan to use Weebly to create my storybook so it can be easily navigated!

    This looks great, Demery! I am glad you saw the variety here from the comical to the very serious (that Bible murders Storybook was so intense!) ... and Weebly is a great platform to use for a project. Here's a Weebly project someone did in Indian epics a couple of years ago: Shreemati News; it turned out really nicely!

Introduction to a Future Olivia Pope*

Hi everyone, my name is Demery Pennington (pronounced like Emery, but with a D)! I am a junior public relations student at the University of Oklahoma. For those that don't know, PR helps companies keep a positive reputation, helps companies rely on ethics in decision-making and helps companies listen and and adapt to the needs of the public(s) that the company affects. 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

Image
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 ...
