Storybook Favorites



Gossip Girl Title Card

Gossip Girl Ayodhya was one of my favorite Storybooks even though I wasn't very familiar with the topic. The thing I liked the most about this story was how it used the show gossip girl to retell Ramayana. The introduction jumps out at the reader by starting off like the Gossip Girl show would, and it sets up the background story pretty well. The stories navigation was easy to use and the story itself was well written and interesting. The storybook did a very good job of using the gossip girl writing style to retell the Ramayana.



Hogwarts Castle

Katie-Indian Epics was another one of my favorite storybooks. This storybook did a really good job of blending the tale of these four brothers into the world of Harry Potter. The introduction describes each brother well, and the buzzfeed quiz makes the storybook interactive and fun. This storybook had the same easy to use layout as Gossip Girl Avodhya, and it was easy to follow along with. I like the easy navigation of the page and the way the title of each section was laid out at the top followed by a picture associated with that section and than the actual story. I would like my storybook to be laid out in a similar fashion.



Picture of Indian Women

Nicole's Indian epics storybook was one of my favorites because of its unique way of telling many different sides of the story. The introduction did a very good job of catching readers eyes by drawing them in with the promise of major drama. The women's story were well written and filled with juicy tidbits and surprises that made the story even more dramatic. The author's note also helped to express the changes between the authors retelling and the actual story. They also explained why the author chose to rewrite the stories this way.

Week 14 Story: The Unknown Brother

One day Narada had a mango and he decided to go and offer it to one of Shiva’s sons. As he was making the climb up Mount Kailasa Narada wondered which of Shiva’s sons he should give the mango to. Unable to decide, Narada came up with an idea to decide who to give the mango to. Narada finally made it to the top and sitting there were the people he had come looking for. Shiva smiled and said, “What brings you here to today, Narada?” Narada smiled at Shiva and Parvati and then turned towards their sons and said, “I came to give this mango to one of your sons. I have also made a competition to decide who gets the mango. The person who can go around the world three times before the other gets the mango.” And with that statement Kartikeya jumped onto his peacock and immediately went off. As he was going around the world Ganesha just sat there and happily watched his brother going around the world. As they sat there Parvati and Narada were wondering why Ganesha did not get up...

Tech Tip: Canvas Notifications

I like how the notifications on Canvas are set up so you whether you want to be notified right away, receive a weekly summary, receive a monthly summary, or receive nothing at all.This way you can choose any of the options for all the notification types this helps me avoid getting annoying messages every five seconds. I also like the option where you can get emails, and if you have the app you also get notified on your phone. I have set up my notifications on canvas so that I can be alerted when an assignment has been added to canvas, when there is an announcement, when an assignment has been graded, and when a new file has been added.
