Future Reading Ideas

I'm really excited for this next unit so I can read  Myths and Legends of the Great Plains. I'm fairly familiar with many different Native American stories, so it will be fun to see if I've read any versions of the stories before.

After I read the stories of the Great Plain, I'm planning on reading Myths and Legends of Alaska. I really like short stories so I can sample quite a few before I decide which one I liked best and to use for my storytelling post. I once wrote a research paper over Aleut creation myths, so I'm really excited to get back into some Alaska legends!

Time Strategies

I really think Dali's clocks are a great depiction of how time tends to go during the spring semester after spring break. Things get crazy, and time seems to melt away! My biggest goal is just to get things done ahead of time whenever possible, but not so much that my to do list stresses me out more than necessary. My current schedule for this class is going really well. I get ahead when I can, and I keep the general week starting on Monday, which seems to really work for me. My workload is much lighter than usual this semester, but I can still get overwhelmed when I have big assignments in multiple classes all due around the same time. I think getting some things done ahead of time is my best bet for staying motivated and successful.
