Topic Brainstorm

Topic Ideas

Topic #1: Fairy Tale Princesses
This topic interested me because of a specific storybook called "The Princess and Her Parties" that I found from a previous student. I studied abroad in London, England last summer, and on the home page of this storybook is the Windsor Castle. I toured the Windsor Castle while I was there, so it'd be super fun to act as if I was the queen of the castle using the pictures I took there last summer. I know a little about the history of the castle and the queen's life, and I know even more about what it looked like (and I have some pictures that I wasn't supposed to take... oops!) I'd love to learn about specific stories that took place in the castle, and how I could change these stories into more dark stories that are suspenseful.
 
Here is a photo I took of the Windsor Castle in England.

Topic #2: Dogs
This topic interests me because... Who doesn't love dogs?! The storybook "A Dog's Adventure" from a previous student explains the life of a dog from his point of view. This would be so entertaining to make, because there are several dogs that have done things that created funny stories. I know all about how dogs act, but I don't know too many storybook-type stories of dogs. I'd love to see the funny things dogs do and how those can be turned into mythological stories. Many dogs are smarter than we think, so it could be fun to retell stories about how dogs realize humans underestimate them!


Topic #3: Alice in Wonderland
The topic Alice in Wonderland interests me because I'm a huge fan of this story. However, the storybook of a previous student called "Alice's Journey... Through Social Media?" interests me even more, because I'm a PR major! A lot of what I will do in the future deals with social media, so creating a story similar to this one would likely interest me. I know all about social media platforms and the use of each, so I'd love to tell stories using advanced technology because many of these stories don't include technology at all!


Topic #4: OU Ghost Stories
This topic's name is about ghost stories at OU... How cool is that! I didn't even know there were ghost stories on our campus, so I don't have much previous knowledge about this topic, though I'd love to learn. The storybook "Live On University Legends" has multiple stories about campus buildings I'm familiar with, such as "Walker Tower Woes." I'd love to hear about these stories and retell them in accordance with my own experiences living in the dorm towers!

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 ...
