Week 1: Storybook Favorites

Wikipedia: (Indian Elephant)


This topic immediately caught my eye, because I absolutely love elephants! They have always been my favorite animal, so of course I had to choose this storybook as one of my favorites.  The title let me know exactly what is was going to be about, and I was not disappointed.  I thought the introduction was creative and instead of explaining what the storybook would be about, the author told a story that made the reader want to know more.  I loved that the background was pictures of elephants, and I thought the color scheme worked really well with the theme.  I had no problems navigating the site, and felt that this storybook would be a great one to reference when building my own.


I naturally loved this storybook and was drawn to it because of the title.  I thought it was so creative for the author to twist this storybook into his own and merge the Indian Epics culture he had learned in the course, with his own culture here at OU.  The Introduction was great, and made me laugh.  The author was definitely thinking outside of the book, and his creativity paid off.  It definitely made me want to continue reading, and find out more about Rama and the Sooners.  


I really liked this storybook because it’s something I probably would not have thought to do.  I loved that the title is “@TheRamayana” to connect the social media theme the author chose. This introduction was different than most I had read, it was more concise and to the point.  I thought this was a great idea, and I definitely wanted to follow up with the stories and see what they had come up with.  It was easy to navigate, and helped me become more familiar with the topics.
