Tech Tip: Canvas Calendar

So this week for tech tip, I decided to do Canvas Calendar.
Personally, I think the calendar on Canvas is even better than the one on D2L because it is color coded and has so many different views! You can see what you have due in just one class, all classes, for a month, for the rest of the semester, in calendar format or in list format. The options honestly are endless. It is a great feature! If you don't know how to use it yet, go look it up! It is amazing!

Review: Connection Found

This is a little different than a typical review post, but I feel that it is relevant because it has to do with one of the stories from this week and several from this semester!

The other day, I stumbled upon this Buzzfeed article that I found super interesting, and I started actually thinking about this class! It talks about how a lot of times Disney movies derive from stories that don’t have such happy origins. Take a look!

Original Sleeping Beauty

Reading Notes A: Fairy Tales By Brothers Grimm

Bibliography: Fairy Tales by Brothers Grimm
Read the story (or listen) here

The Frog Prince
-interesting because of the description of the princess: "put on her bonnet and clogs"
-golden ball
-"I want not your pearls, and jewels, and fine clothes, but if you will love me and let em live with you and eat off of your golden plate, and sleep upon your bed, I will bring you your ball again"
-blackmailed by a frog?
-Open the door, my princess dear,
Open the door to thy true love here!
And mind the words that thou and I said
By the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade

The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean 

The Mouse, the Bird, and The Sausage

-interesting because not happy endings

-lists as titles?

Why are some so much more common than others?

Selected because of the imagery
