An open storybook with a castle and a garden.

This class is unlike any of the other classes I have ever taken because of its relaxed grading system. I truly feel like I will be genuinely more inclined to learn because of the "work how you like" structure of this class. What I mean by this is that I have never had a class where I can create my own assignments through the work I complete. I have also never been in charge of grading my own work. I am the one in charge of declaring that I have submitted an assignment, and I am the judge of my own work as well as my classmates. This class allows me to have the freedom that I have never had in my other classes due to the face that I am not more than ever in control of my own grade. Of course, I am the one who decides the quality of my work in other classes, but in this class, I not only have the power to choose how hard I work, but what I work hard on. That aspect alone I believe is completely unique to this class.

One aspect of this class that I am eagerly looking forward too is the project we all have to complete. I think I may look into creating a storybook as my final project. I was so impressed and captivated by the other storybook examples I am eager to see if I am creatively capable enough to think of one that would be credible. I've already thought of a few ideas that I could run with and I am excited to explore that part of my creative capabilities.

All in all, I am excited for the freedom this class allows me to take with storytelling, and I cant wait to see what I can come up with.

The Coyote and the Snake Reading Notes

The Coyote and the Snake One day the coyote was walking along the trail when he heard a voice say Stop! The coyote looked around and he couldn't see anything. He disregarded the warning and kept moving. Once again he heard someone yell stop. He looked around again and he saw nothing until he heard a voice say "Walk over me, or move out of the way." The coyote looked down and found a snake in the path right below him. The snake said that he has been traveling this trail for years and he would simply not move. The coyote said the same thing and that he would simply not move. The coyote said he would have to keep going if the snake moved or not. The snake made the threat that if the coyote stepped over him the snake would have no choice but to kill him. The coyote didn't believe him and called his bluff. He walked over him and the snake bit the coyote. The coyote didn't feel anything and then mocked the snake. The coyote kept walking on and when he got to the...
