Reading Review Week

I generally used the Reading Diary in order to do the storytelling assignment. I like the bullet points and headings so that I can stay on track with the pages that certain events happened on so that I can use this as a reference when trying to locate the topic I am trying to retell. I found that it was easier to summarize and add my opinion to each event that happened in the pages I read than to summarize on just the one story that I found interesting on that day. Later in the week, I had become uninterested in the topic I summarized and I had forgotten a good deal of the material from other events.

In the end, summarizing is more helpful at reinforcing the events that I had just read, and it makes it easier to remember at a later date.

Unfortunately, I didn't read anything in the UnTextbook, but I enjoyed some of the stories I read from them. I was really interested in the fuller version of The Ramayana that Buck provides.

I choose this image because I love the connection with Dasaratha and Rama. Their bond reminds me a lot of the connection my father and I share. I love the joy the image shows. Also, I think I have really improved on my image information skills. It's been a good learning experience on plagiarism from web sources.
