Week 8 Comments and Feedback

So far, most of the comments I have received have been helpful. I have found the most helpful comments are the ones that give specific ideas on what I can fix. While I appreciate comments that say what parts of my story readers are confused about or think I can fix, if I do not have specific thoughts on what needs to be changed, I do not know what about that part of the story I need to go back and revise. I also like comments that give specific feedback on what I am doing well in the story; this gives me ideas on what I can continue doing for future stories.

I think my comments have (hopefully) been useful for the writers I am leaving comments for. In my comments, I usually mention what I like about the story, like the characters, the ending, the style, etc. When I find parts that may be a bit convoluted or have grammar errors, I usually mention it as a suggested edit for the author. I like using the WWW and TAG methods when I leave comments because I am able to talk about what I like in the story and positively suggest some edits I think need to be made.

I think my Introduction gives other students a good idea of who I am, and I like getting to know them through their Introductions. I think reading other peoples' stories gives me an idea of who they are as a person, while Introductions give me an idea of who they are as a person.

In future feedback assignments, I would like to comment more on what about the author's style I like and give them ideas on what works well in their writing. I think this will help others figure out what they can continue doing for future writing assignments. I hope the comments on my stories in the future will contain specific feedback about what is working well in my writing and what is not; this will help me decide what direction to go in my later writings.

I chose this Feedback Cat because I think the feedback I get in the class will help me grow in my writing. Without comments from my classmates, I will not know what I am doing well and what I am doing poorly in my writing. With feedback, however, I am able to grow as a writer.

Introduction to Shea "Campus Involvement" Penning

Hello! My name is Shea Penning and I'm excited to meet you! I am a junior majoring in Advertising and minoring in Italian. I was born in Texas, have lived in Nevada and California, and was raised in Edmond, Oklahoma. I don't know exactly what I want to do once I graduate, but right now I think I'd like to continue my education at a portfolio school and study graphic design. One of my favorite parts of college has been getting involved on campus! I got involved in Soonerthon Exec my freshman year in the Ambassador (aka fundraising) committee. I joined the same committee the next year as a team captain. If you are unfamiliar with Soonerthon, it is OU's official philanthropy for the Oklahoma City Children's Hospital Foundation and ends with a huge dance marathon in March. Last year, we raised over $1 million FTK (For the Kids)! Picture of me at Soonerthon 2018. Personal image. Soonerthon falls under Campus Activities Council, which is the programming branch

Week 13 Story: Leopard Cake

There once was a little boy who lived with his mother and father. The little boy was celebrating his birthday, and his mother asked him what type of cake he wanted. The little boy said he wanted a cake shaped like a leopard. The mother put the cake in to bake and told the little boy, "Your father and I are going to the market. Keep an eye on the oven while we are gone." The mother and father left, and the little boy sat in the kitchen staring at the oven. He got very bored, and decided to go outside to play. When the little boy got tired, he went inside and found the oven door wide open! He went to the front door, only to see the leopard cake running away! The little boy chased after the cake, but got very tired and had to sit down. The leopard cake kept running and kept running, until it came across two mice. The mice asked, "Where are you going, leopard cake?" The leopard cake responded, "I just outran a little boy. Since I am a leopard, I am faster than
