Wikipedia Trail

For this assignment, I started with the term sleep because there was a post about sleep deprivation on our twitter feed. I learned the actual definition of sleep and also what your body does during this process. I then went on to the circadian clock which I had never heard of before. This term is pretty much describing an internal clock that is a hypothetical phase. From there I went on to clicking entrainment which is the study of chronobiology. I had no idea what either term is so it just made sense to then move onto chronobiology, which is the field of biology that examines periodic phenomena in living organisms. I feel like a lot fo these two pages went over my head, but it was interesting to learn and get a small amount of information on all of these pages.

Tech Tip: Canvas Mobile App

I had already had this app downloaded but I explored it a little more and found out some ways to edit my preferences. I used to get very annoyed when I would get a ton of notifications when discussions were due. Now it doesn't send me notifications except the ones I chose, such as grades, messages and a few other things. Overall this app is super helpful and I appreciate the accessibility.

Week 12 Planning Post: The Babes in the Wood

Planning Post:

• ·         In the poem “Babes in the Wood” the author uses a lot of similar or the same words.
• ·         Ex. Say-day, know, night-plight, dead-red, cried-died.
• ·         The author gave did a good job at keeping the story on track and making the reader understand what was going on.
• ·         Two poor children were taken on a Summer’s day.
• ·         They were left in the woods.
• ·         Every night they cried and they laid down and died.
• ·         The birds brought leaves and put them on top of the children.
• ·         They sang to them all day long.
• ·         I thought this was an interesting story because normally you have happy ending with children stories, and this story is clearly not a happy ending for the children.
• ·         I am also raking a children’s literature course and that is helping me understand this book even more. 
• ·         I enjoy the descriptive words and comparison of the colors throughout the whole piece

       

       British and Celtic Research:

·         Celtic stories have been preserved through contemporary Roman and Christian sources.

·         The stories tend to be of ancestral mythologies and was writing during the middle ages.

·         The British side is a folk tradition that was developed over centuries.

·         Most common idea of British folk is Robin Hood.

·         This is largely connected and draws from Celtic Germanic and Christian sources.

·         Some common idea of folklore found in England is a black dog which represents the Devil or relating to Death.

·         Brownie is another one and it is related to a type of hob. They live in the houses and do tasks around the house to make sure it stays clean.

·         Dwarfs and elves are common topics in British literature. 

Conclusion:

Overall I think I want to make a story about the children and do the poem justice. Instead of making it short I want to take the same descriptive words and vibrant coloring to make a full story about this two young kids that were taken too soon.
