Reading Notes, Week 10: Native American Marriage Tales part A

Tales of the North American Indians, by Stith Thompson

One thing that I like from these stories is how the characters can change from animals to humans almost at will sometimes.

Feedback Strategies: Mirror

Image
In the article  Be a Mirror , it discusses how constructive feedback needs to be like a mirror.  Mirrors show what is already there, they do not provide judgement.  A mirror does not make the reflection about itself,  it is completely about what it s reflecting.  We can do that by not putting I statements in feedback; feedback needs to be completely about the work.  It does not show what is not there.  We should not emphasize what they did not do, but highlight what they did do.  This way of thinking is very constructive, because it does no center itself around the critics approval or opinion, it attempts to focus solely on the work and the artists progress.   A large goal of mirroring is to provide feedback that can be transferred to other subjects or projects.  Feedback should be based around learning and growing, not making each project perfect.   In the article  How to Craft Constructive Feedback  talks about ...

Reading Week 9: South African Folk-Tales part A

The Tiger, The Ram, and The Jackal I have read this plot before, where a threatening animal is tricked into thinking that a nonthreatening animal will eat him because a third animal (normally someone who is less than the first animal and greater than the second animal on the food chain) takes the threatening animal to the nonthreatening one, and the non threatening one says, "where is [the third animal] he was supposed to bring me another animal to eat."

"Storybooks are like portals to other worlds,"  said little Julie to her dolls.  "They create another reality.  Maybe they ARE another reality!  Maybe the characters live inside the story.  Oooooh, it is so much fun to read." Julie walked across her room to get another book from her bookshelf.  Her fingers ran over the various books until she stopped on one that read Nursery Rhymes.   "I will read this one again!"  Julie sat down in her favorite chair, arranged her dolls around her, and opened the book.   "There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpense against a crooked stile...."  Julie's head began to nod.  She jolted upright and continued, "He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse....."   Julie's eyes fluttered shut and a when she opened them she was falling through the air!  Julie scrambled for something to hold onto, but found nothing.  ...
