While journaling my reading has been a challenge for me, it definitely holds me accountable for really reading the material instead speed reading through the work just to get it done. I have never been the kind of person who will pick up a book to read in my spare time so this amount of reading has been a good personal challenge.
My favorite readings would be from the first week(s):
"The Creation"
Coyote Cooks His Daughter"
"About-the-House Girl"
I'm not sure if it is because of my personal feelings during the first few weeks; I was excited to read and I had a lot more energy! OR they grew on / stuck with me because I really enjoy reading Indian myths. I am intrigued to read something completely different from my norm. These readings pushed me to learn more about the culture behind the writing which connected me even more to the stories.
I would consider my first project to be my biggest accomplishment for this class so far. It may not be my best analysis or writing ever, but the re-writes with the editing challenges and peer review helped re-shape how I will write, review, and edit projects and papers I write in the future.
I find the instructor and peer comments extremely valuable and look forward for continued support from this class.
