This was the picture I reverse image searched. You can find it on many different websites in original size. Using the Bing search engine I found it on this Pinterest site. This is a really neat tool and is very easy to use. Thanks for reading.

Review: Tom Gauld Humor

Tom Gauld: Three Scientists and Big Bad Wolf

I chose this post from the daily announcements, because I am a fan of Tom Gauld. I enjoyed the first weeks assignment using his adventure map. In addition, I found this illustration/story very humorous too. Thanks for reading!

Wikipedia Trails: From Brer Rabbit to

I read the African tale of Brer Rabbit so I started there. From which it was natural to learn about hares. I learned that hares do not use burrows for the young , but rather shallow depressions. Lastly, I learned that burrows are a hare or rabbits natural defense against predation. Which is the act of a predator going after prey.

Famous Last Words: On to the next

This week has been a very up and down week. In my other classes I had a test on Monday and project on Wednesday which made for a hectic studying situation. I feel as if I did better on my geophysics test on Monday however intuitively the project should have been easier. I guess I really wont know until I get the grade back in both classes but those are just my initial gut feelings. Nonetheless I am glad to be done with them and next week should contain a lighter load, as I only have one test on Wednesday in my reservoir engineering course.

In this class I was happier with the assigned readings. I decided to read Brer Rabbit and it reminded me of a Cajun style Aesop's fables in a way, even though it was an African Tale The plot really was similarly setup and had a somewhat similar delivery of the story. In addition, I was a fan of the use of animals throughout the story. I find it to usually be a much less complex story, which is more of my liking. Also this week I felt that my storytelling wasn't the best I've had on initial writes, but it was definitely not the worst. I would say "Brer Rabbit Adventure" will eventually make my portfolio after a few edits and maybe a few more developing plot lines. This story was a little more difficult to write because I attempted to write the story using a combination of a moral ending like the Aesop's fables.. I struggled with whether or not to add dialogue, but I ended up not putting any to maintain different than "The Lone Wolf". I was pleased with the different view it gave on my story and it helped provide more detail of the events than just a first person narrative. I am looking to possibly expand and try another technique next. Thanks for reading and have a good weekend.

Learning Challenge Week 6: What kind of Reader are you?

Learning by HEART Memes (Laura Gibbs)

I chose this meme because I thought it would be fun for the different people of the class to comment on what type of reader they are. Laura Gibbs commented that she was an Altruist reader. I myself am a Neurotic reader. My challenge for myself is to merge into one of the other groups as I grow older. What kind of reader are you? Thanks for reading! (haha)

Growth Mindset Week 6: Ponder you potential

Cat in Deep Thought (Laura Ritchie Inspired)

Ritchie writes: "an ideal learning situation where students consciously take responsibility for the processes of monitoring, reflecting, and eventually achieving their potential."

I chose this growth mindset meme for the week because reflecting on self progress is really something good to do. When someone can monitor their progress through life or a certain task it helps with goal setting and feeling accomplished. And as Ritchie says, you can find and release your true potential through this process. Thanks for reading.
