Creating a Myth versus the study of myth

 One of the ways in which creating a myth differs from the study of myth is in the sense that when I was studying myth I was trying to make sense of the meaning and look more deeper as to what the myth was about . When I created my myth I feel that I was able to be more loose and creative in making my own designs and incorporate some relevant information .  As well as when we create our own myth or we get the option to choose I think that's what makes the difference most . I learned that when I assign these kinds of assignments in my future classroom , I can see how students feel doing an activity that is at first challenging but necessary to get to the goal , then when they have the information they need they can write about their own myths and I think that they will truly enjoy that . I feel that by first studying myths we get an idea of what it's supposed to be . As well as it was helpful because in order to create our own myths we must first learn how to create a myth. I liked doing both honestly but I would say that creating my own myth was actually more fun and creative , since I got to choose my own design and make it unique. I think that I can definitely use this activity where we create our own myths for my own students one day , I think it will get them engaged and motivated .

    Hello George,
    I agree with what you were saying here. An individual myth is more fun to do as opposed to reading about them. But It's pretty interesting that despite how some myths are seen as boring, they relate to the truth. For example, the Myth my group and I were doing was exciting and had a lot to do with my culture because all those things are still present in Mexico and other places of central America. My group myth spoke about rituals; I felt as if they were trying to make it sound less graphic than what it is. I think myths help shape society. Otherwise, we wouldn't be reading about them. Your Myth was creative and easy to engage in because you have a way to get others to engage in your work, and that is what I believe you are in the right field. You did a fantastic job with your Myth, and I always think you will make a great teacher! Keep up the good work, bud.

    Hi George,
    I agree with your ideas on myth's and their differences. Myth's can give us a deeper understanding of lessons or stories that some might find unexplainable. They creatively incorporate parts of life to a fictional world that could give a reason as to why something is the way it is. As we were making our myth presentation, we learned about how places/locations could be incorporated into a myth and give it a more realistic sense. I liked how you said that myth's could be challenging to create, but in order to achieve an impactful lesson, they need to be difficult to create.

Writing about poetry and Writing Poetry Comparison

 I feel that when you write about poetry you follow mostly on what kind of styles or what poetry means to you. I feel that you try to think very hard about what it could mean . While when you write poetry you don't have to think about it too hard, you just write down what you feel based upon your experiences , your feelings , and mood . I feel that they are both similar in regards to the process: you gather your thoughts and write down what you  are thinking about . As well as when you are writing poetry based upon how you feel , and how you want to express yourself it has a deeper and emotional feeling . When you are just writing about poetry I feel that it will be too formal because there's no feeling behind it. Personally when I was doing the essay I felt that when you write about poetry it's more about analysis , and trying to find the meaning of the poem . However I would like to say that I felt the emotions behind when writing about my chosen poem for the analysis ess

  Hi  Everyone , my name is George Kalajyan and I'm currently a senior at CSUN in the FYI/JYI program to earn my bachelors and credentials in English to become a high school teacher. Ever since I was a little kid I knew I wanted to become a teacher when I was 6 years old my parents got me a white board and I would play teacher all day once I got home from school , I would pretend my room was the classroom and outside was the field so I would imitate the firearm and earthquake drills and read of imaginary student names. As I grew older my desire to get into education grew significantly as well as my desire to help people  emotionally . As someone who has gotten bullied a lot and having faced depression , anxiety , and low self-esteem I realize how hard and difficult teenage years can be as well as for people who are viewed as different . It took me a long time to accept and love myself having also faced family trauma in the past year as well , has significantly impacted me but has m
