One day some young girls asked if the maiden could play with them one day and the mother was very reluctant but let her. While the girls were playing a magic wall appeared out of nowhere and spilt the girls up. The maiden saw a beautiful palace in front of her and went inside and saw many rooms full of precious stones. In the last room she saw a bey and her quest was to pray over him and fan him for 40 days and so she did. The bey wanted to repair the maiden but the maiden had switched places with and Arab girl. Soon later the bey asked the maiden what she wanted and she asked for a p

This image represents when the maiden turned herself and the boy into a  duck and a pond to escape the witch in the story The Wizard-Dervish.  Image Fear: In this story a young youth went on a mission to find fear. He faced many battles that many people could not endure and still could not find fear and he would not stop until he found it. Finally he was requested to be Shah but he still turned it down the first time because he still wanted to find fear but they gave hime a deal. If he was Shah for the night the next day he would find fear. Thus indeed when they put a sparrow in his soup and when he lifted the lid he was frightened. Sultana was the one who came up with this idea so they lived happily ever after. The Wizard-Dervish: A Padishah came across a Dervish and wished upon a son. The Padishah did as the Dervish said and soon the Padishah and his wife birthed a son but after the 20th year he belonged to the Dervish. So came the 20th year of the boy and the Dervish came to get him

Leah and her camel went everywhere together and  she was always riding on its back. One day they were riding through town and were wondering around for hours. After several hours one of the local beggars asked her what she was doing riding around town for hours. Leah simply just replied with, "I am simply just following my loyal camel and going wherever she goes." Leah Nydus was wondering hastily around her pasture one day yelling. Finally, Leah Nydus's sister finally came outside to see what all the ruckus was. "What are you looking for exclaimed her sister?" "I have lost my favorite shoe," Leah Nydus responded.

This is an image of a few deskercises. I found this graphic off of another blog.  http://hespokestyle.com/olympics-male-lingerie-deskercise/  I read the Article, Deskercise 17 examples you can do near or at your desk. I found of these examples very interesting. I liked the fidgeting one because I am already always fidgeting when I am sitting down but I do it because I cannot it still. Next was the TMJ and Bruxism exercises because I have noticed sometimes that I clench my jaw without even realizing it while I am trying to focus. I find my jaw sore and tight sometimes due to that and maybe if I keep practicing these exercises it will help me.   https://smallbiztrends.com/2015/10/deskercise-desk-exercises.html

This is an image on Penelope's house out in the forest.  https://www.iliketowastemytime.com/2012/06/10/around-world-in-photos-pt3-17-pics  Once upon a time there was a young girl that lived in the forest all by herself. Her name was Penelope and she was so beautiful. Penelope and nothing to her name and scavenged and farmed all that she had. One day, as she was walking through the forest looking for anything to eat she came across a baby deer trapped in a hole. Penelope quickly helped the deer out of the hole and it ran away in fear so she went along picking her berries. The nest day she is outside of her little house tending to her garden she could see the deer standing afar. She tried getting it to come to her but it would not so she left some food out for it and went inside.  The next morning, she found the deer lying next to the front door when she walked outside and the poor deer just laid there. Penelope gave the deer some more food and water because it looked famished and it

  This is an image of the bare hill top where Onias slept for one hundred years.  http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/642006 The Sleep of One Hundred Years: The Rabbi, Onias, set on a journey to the unhappy city of Jerusalem. He set on his journey and the land the was once beautiful was now bare and lacking so many things. He got to a point on his journey where he was so tired he decided to sleep for the night. He krept into a deep sleep and ended up sleeping for 100 years. When he awoke everything was different, the land was plentiful and rebuilt. Onias eventually made it to town where he met some people and his grandson. After seeing how different things were he knew that he did not belong there and wished to go back to his resting place. There he fell back into a deep sleep forever. King for Three Days: A soldier named Godfrey was set on exterminating the jews and all the people of Israel. He was confident in himself but wanted the blessing of Rabbi Rashi. The Rabbi to

This is an image of Og the Giant of the Flood.  https://newsinstact.com The Giant of the Flood: This is the story of a giant who conned his way onto Noah's ark. He got a giant unicorn and convinced Noah to take it with him and the giant ended up riding the unicorn that was tied ti the ark. While on the journey Noah made a deal with Og the giant. Noah would feed him if Og swore to be his servant. When they got to land Og very quickly tried to leave but Noah made hold up his end of the bargain. They went on a journey to plant fruit all around and brought a sheep, lion, pig, and a monkey. They drank some wine after killing these animals and that is the story as to why wine makes people silly because if you drink too much its as if you act like a monkey. Later on, Og became a king and opposed the Israelites, Noah, he tried to pick of a mountain but the insect had made so many holes in it that it crumbled. The mountain fell on top of Og and could not move so Moses came along and struck

This is a picture of a terrapin and in the second story I mention it tells the story of how their eyes became red.  https://www.clubpets.com.sg/terrapin-things-a-guide-to-terrapin-care/ The Creation of the Earth: I liked this story because it was pretty short, to the point, and easy to understand so I think it would be easy to retell and make it my own. I also just the idea of doing a creation story because Native Americans were some of the first people to roam the Americas so a creation story from their point of view seems like a cool idea.   https://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/se/mtsi/mtsi092.htm The Fawn, the Wolves, and the Terrapin: This was a fun and short story of how and why a terrapin looks the way it does now. This is also kind of like a creation story.   https://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/se/mtsi/mtsi036.htm The Hunter and His Dogs: This is a not so romantic fairytale and I am a sucker for a happily ever after.  https://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/se/mtsi/mtsi020.htm

I found this funny meme off of google and I feel as if it gesticulates good with the two articles that I read.  https://blog.cake.hr/8-fun-employee-survey-ideas/ The first article I read was, Be A Mirror. I found this article interesting because it talks about the correlation between feedback and a growth or fixed mindset. We have been talking about a growth mindset and feedback the past weeks so I liked how this article flowed into feedback. In this article it speaks of qualities to help foster a growth mindset like prioritizing the work and effort put in and not necessarily the content and taking yourself out of the equation when giving feed back. I like these two examples a lot and I feel as if the will help when in the future when giving my classmates feedback.  https://literacyworldwide.org/blog/literacy-now/2015/12/08/be-a-mirror-give-readers-feedback-that-fosters-a-growth-mindset The second article I read was, The Difference Between Praise and Feedback. I liked this article beca

This is a photo of Saint Giles and the tame Deer. I chose this photo because it was my favorite story that I read.  https://www.osbornesigns.co.uk/work/entry/village_sign_for_wimbourne_st_giles_dorset   The Fish Who Helped Saint Gudwall: Saint Gudwall and his pupil venture off to cave in order to be alone. They find the perfect cave for them and remain there for several months, happily. But once winter hit they realized that their home was also somebody else's home. Wave after wave came crashing into the cave and Saint Gudwall and his pupil did not know what to do. Saint Gudwall sat down and prayed for something to help them and protect them. Shortly after, all the fish came swimming towards the cave with grains of sand in their mouths. One grain of sand and fish at a time they were able to build up a wall to the cave to protect them from the waves crashing in. Saint Gudwall and his pupil were so thankful for the fish who had helped them.  The Wolf-Mother of Saint Ailbe: A Little b

This is an image of Saint Blaise and some of the animals that worshipped him.  http://orthodoxyforkids.blogspot.com/2015/02/st-blaise-of-sebaste.html   Saint Kentigern and the Robin: This is the tale of young boys attending school. Kentigern the smallest but brightest boy of the school was envied by other boys. They were envious that Saint Servan admired Kentigern. So, one day these boys decided to pull a prank on Kentigern in order to ruin his reputation. It was a very important job to tend to the school's fire which fueled the whole school. When it was Kentigern's turn to tend to the fire the boys had put out the fire just before Kentigern tended to it. But, that did not stop Kentigern, he re kindled that fire and proven a saint. After that didn't work out the boys decided to pull another prank on Kentigern. Saint Servan had a beloved robin and they thought it would be a good idea to kill the robin and blame it on Kentigern. The boys brought back the dead robin to Saint S

  Everyone loves a good meme and I got this one off of google.   https://memeshappen.com/meme/71704/i-love-feedback-feedback-s-my-favorite-71704 The first article I read was Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head. I like this article because I often suffer from this way too often. I can very easily get down on myself and it is typically tough for me to realize that I am going it to myself. I will also talk my self out of doing so many things because I am unaware of what the outcome will be. This article gave some very useful tips on how to improve your positive outlook on different situations. I liked the idea of the 5 to 1 ratio of daily practice to help change your mindset.  https://hbr.org/2016/12/silence-the-critical-voices-in-your-head The next article I chose to read was Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt. I also struggle with self doubt the majority of the time and struggle with it constantly. I constantly second guess myself with everything I do and I don't really know how to

I found this image on google and thought that it could represent a cool fairytale scene.  https://wallpaperaccess.com/fairy-tale The first project listing I chose to research was mermaids. I have always been super interested in mermaids since I was a little kid. As a little girl one of my favorite movies was Aquamarine. I also feel as if mermaids have a huge part in myth and folklore due to all different old stories passed down for generations. I found the old project Tragic Tales of love and I would like to use it as inspiration.  https://sites.google.com/site/tragictalesoflove/ The next topic that I found very interesting was Creek Stories. I am Musckogee Creek Indian and I have always been super interested in my heritage. My great grandpa used to tell me stories all the time but I don't really remember them. I think it would be super cool to do more research on these stories and be able to retell them and even pass them on to others in my family.  https://sites.google.com/site/c

The father’s work was very gruesome and had to go on quests for his leader. The father did whatever he could to provide for his family, but his kids were often alone.     One morning, he received news to go on a very dangerous quest that could potentially take him a very long time to complete. Before he left he promised to bring them all he would bring back something special for each one of them.    The father left and his children went on with their lives. The two brother both went to work every day while the daughter stayed and home and took care of their home, she loved to cook and clean.    The father went on with his quest to bring a sacred sword to a lord in a

I chose this photo from the anthropology website because this was my favorite story.  https://sites.google.com/view/mythfolkloreanthology/tricksters The Man in the Moon: The story is of a blacksmith who complains of being too hot and wants to be something else. Well, he quickly realizes after he transforms into other things he becomes hotter. Lastly, he transforms into the moon but it turns out to be the hottest but he had already changed his mind several times and was stuck, becoming the man in the moon. The Hare that was not Afraid to Die: The animals were required to find some food for their Sakka and sort of a sacrifice and all the animals found some food except the Hare. The Hare said the he would give up his own flesh but did not want to die. Because the Hare was not willing to die he still failed the ultimate test. The all failed the test and were forced to live together in moral law. The Eight-Forked Serpent of Koshi:  Honestly did read this story a couple times and could not
