Topic Research

The topic I am choosing to do research on is the greek goddesses. This topic has always been interesting to me, ever since I first began learning about it in middle school. One greek goddess that has always been my favorite is Aphrodite. She is the goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. Because she is the god of sexuality and love, she is often caught in moments of adultery. Aphrodite is a more popular goddess, as her role in the lliad resulted in the trojan war. I could write a story about Aphrodite's love affairs and her contribution to the war.
Athena was another goddess that I've always enjoyed learning about. She is also a popular goddess, and she was a contributor to the trojan war as well. Athena is the goddess wisdom, handicraft, and strategic war. Being the warrior goddess, Athena was believed to lead soldiers into war. Athena was also the protector of many greek cities, such as Athens. For Athena, I could write my own version of her story by speaking of her wisdom and leadership in battles. 
Hecate is the third goddess that caught my eye because she is the goddess of magic, crossroads, ghosts, and necromancy. Hecate is told to be a great goddess, however there are ties that create believe that she was connected to the dark underworld. I could write many stories about Hecate, one being her experiences with Hades and how she uses the underworld as power to be a goddess.

    Hi Gracie! This is a cool idea. I love the idea of taking different goddesses and talking their stories in a new way. What will your framing be for the storybook? How will these stories be different than the traditional ones? I think you have a great start for your project here and I am excited to see where you take this!

storytelling, week 11 - the creation of the mermaid

Image
The Creation of the Mermaid The whale created the oceans, far and wide, deep and shallow, black and blue. He created the plants that bloomed vibrantly through the waving currents, and he created the sand that shimmered abundantly beneath the weight of the water. The whale also created the live that happily swam among the tides. The whale was proud and very content with his creation, but one day he decided there should be another creation, none like he has ever made before. It shall be called a mermaid, because of its man like-features. The whale gathered the animals that lived in his ocean, and held a meeting that would decide what the new creation should consist of. Each animal had its own thoughts of what the new life should be. The clown fish thought the mermaid should be orange and white, just like him. The shark thought it should have razor sharp teeth, so it could hunt better than any other fish. The tuna thought the mermaid should be agile and very large, to cut and dive thr

Introduction to a social media marketer- Week 1

Image
Hello, my name is Gracie Jonas. I am a senior Public Relations major with a minor in Enterprise Studies. I plan to graduate this May. Although I am a senior, this is only my second year at OU. I began my college experience at Rose State College in Oklahoma City as a student athlete. I was fortunate enough to receive a full ride scholarship to play soccer. Being a student athlete taught me a lot about responsibility and determination. Trying to balance school life, social life, and soccer is something that took a while to adjust to, but at the end of it I couldn't be more proud of what I accomplished. Currently, I am employed as a social media marketer for StellaNova Coffee. If you haven't been there yet, you should try it. Great coffee and great people! (I'm not just saying that because I work there either.) Anyway, this experience has also been challenging, because I am adjusting from being a young student, to a professional in the workplace. I am challenged everyday t
