The Tale of the Three Little Pigs Reading Notes part A

There once were three little pigs who were sent out by their mom to make their own fortune.

So the first pig went out on his journey to find materials to build a home with. He stumbled upon a man who was selling bundles of straw. The pig thought to himself, what a great material to build a home with! So he took the straw and began construction on his new home.

He had finished building his house and he was content with what he made when a big bad wolf came by. He saw the pig inside of his home and he told the pig to let him in his house, the pig denied him access so the wolf huffed and he puffed and he blew the pigs house down. He then devoured the poor little pig.

The next pig went on his journey to build his home when he came to a man selling bundles of sticks. He thought to himself, what great materials to build my home with! So he took the bundle of sticks and began construction on his house.

He had finished building his house and he was content with what he made when a big bad wolf came by. He saw the pig inside of his home and he told the pig to let him in his house, the pig denied him access so the wolf huffed and he puffed and he blew the pigs house down. The wolf then ate the pig who built with sticks.

The last of the three little pigs went out to construct his home when he came upon a man selling bricks. This pig knew that this would be the best material to build his home with so he took the bricks and began construction on his home.

He had finished construction when the big bad wolf came by. He demanded that the piglet him into his home but the pig refused. So the wolf huffed and he puffed and he tried with all his might to blow the house down. But he could not, the house was too strong. The wolf was discouraged and had no option but to go home, and the pig lived happily ever after.

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...

Story Week 13 "Alice's Fall"

Alice looking down the hole Alice followed the rabbit until she came to a hole. She saw the rabbit jump down the hole and contemplated going after him or not. She looked back at her sister reading on the hillside and thought to herself, "There is no way I am going back to be that bored." So she got down on her hands and knees and peered into the rabbit hole to see what she could find. The hole was very dark so she squinted to see if she could see a clearer picture. She still couldn't see anything so she leaned in to see if that would clear up her vision. Once she started to lean the ground started to crumble out from under her. She started to push back to leave the hole but the ground just started to crumble more. Her hands slipped out from under her and she fell into the hole. Alice let out a piercing scream, then another, then another. She was frantically yelling due to the fear that she would splat on the ground. She just kept screaming and falling unt...

Time Strategies

Procrastination Graph Link Time management is something I struggle with in almost every aspect of my life. Whether it comes to assignments, gifts, dates, scheduling, and almost everything else, procrastination always has a hold on me. For example, I am writing this blog post almost one hour before it is due. Procrastination is in my nature, and it always has been. Thankfully I have people around me who keep me in check. In Caroline Webb's article How To Beat Procrastination , I saw that she spoke of the tactic of pre-committing, publicly. This tactic has helped me out greatly. Thankfully I have friends who want the best for me and know how capable I am of doing good work so if I tell them the priorities I have and the things I need to complete they often remind me to complete my work and stay on schedule. One of my main objectives in life is to surround myself with good people and I think that that has helped me a lot with the decisions I make because of th...
