    Hi Carlo! I enjoyed reading your story over Kooni's origin. I liked how you wrote the mean comments against Kooni in groups of three and started the story with the mean comments. It definitely caught my attention and made me want to continue reading your story. I did think the "These were words Kooni heard every day. Eventually these words stopped bothering her. However, Bharatha heard these mean words and got down from their ride." was not a good combination of sentences. I think you should try to expand more on Kooni's harships with the rude comments. Or set up a part of the story where some random person is being extra mean (like pushing he around) to her and then that's when Bharatha overheard and saw her get beat around by the people in the Ganges. Overall, the story was enjoyable!

    This is one of the initial stories of the Ramayana that I don't remember quite well, but I like the way you presented it. I’m confused as to where Kooni is in the first few paragraphs. It sounds like she was born, was super ugly, and thrown into a river by her parents and picked up later. If she went down the Ganges, wouldn’t she be in a different place? Maybe she is but was hated anyways. If you could shore up that little confusion it might help. I also am having some difficulty remembering the story super well. It felt very reminiscent of stories like the ugly duckling where Kooni blossoms and gains a life beyond any of her haters. You definitely leave it off like there is more to come on this story. I know that it is a Portfolio so there won’t be a story coming later but I think it would be cool to expand off of your last line, unless you want to keep your series ending cliffhanger intact. This makes me think that I might have to go back an read Kooni’s story again.

Tech Tip Week 13: Class Announcements Email

I am glad I just subscribed to the class announcements. I like how with this class we are able to view announcements and it is always a great experience looking at them. I like how many times are there funny pictures and interesting videos to watch within the announcements. That is one thing that sets this class apart from many others. It also brings color and life to the class page on Canvas. As of right now I do not have any advice to make your announcements even better than they already are. However, if the opportunity does come, I will make sure to give out recommendation on how to improve the Canvas announcements page.                                                                               A picture of a notepad with announcements.

This week has been good. I was exploring various videos and graphics from this past week and I one video that Professor Laura Gibbs shared for the class caught my eye. The video features Elizabeth Acevedo called, " Afro Latina. " I can semi-relate to this video when she talks about her experience through her spoken word. I say semi-relate because as an male I do not fully understand the issues she as an Afro-Latina has faced. Watching her video makes me want to learn more about my heritage. My mother is an immigrant from Mexico and my father is a black American. When my mother married a black man, my family from Mexico looked down upon my father just because of the color of his skin. My mother also faced issues involving her accent. My mothers first language is Spanish and her English is excellent. Although she sometimes struggles with some words in English she can speak fluently. However, she has told me people sometimes still look and act down upon her because they hear her...
