Storybook Plan

Storybook Plan

The main theme I would like to explore in my storybook is elephants. As of now, I am thinking there there will be an overarching story that connects the stories together, but I am still not set in stone on that yet. I would like to give readers a fun read about elephants, while also presenting them as gentle giants. For creatures so big, they are capable of strong bonds and gentle demeanor. I want to portray the elephant as a sensitive, understanding being instead of the huge, inconsiderate, clumsy one that I have read in many folklore stories. 

Three possible stories that I have researched before and really liked are listed below. Some of these stories displays the elephant as a source of trouble-making and I would want to change that narrative so elephants are displayed in a better light. 

Story 1: The Elephant has a Bet with the Tiger
Story 2: Hare and the Elephants
Story 3: Why the Elephant has Small Eyes

This semester I am excited for my classes, but anxious about how they will turn out with all of them online. However, it is important to be flexible, especially in a pandemic, so I am hoping to make the most of it! Besides academics, I love playing volleyball and doing other activities with my friends. My junior year I was the president of the OU Women's Club Volleyball team, and enjoyed traveling to ...

Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential

 Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential Elephant - Link I spent a lot of time in this class researching elephants and creating stories about them. So, it seemed only fitting to start my wikipedia trail with elephants as well. Elephant Cognition - Link In addition to just writing stories about elephants, I also touched on their social bonds and how intelligent the species is. From this article I learned that elephants are among the most altruistic animals on earth! Neuron - Link I am currently in a physiological psychology class, and have taken several other classes that involve the anatomy of the brain. So, when I saw neuron I had to click it because it goes along too well with topics I have been learning in my other classes this semester. Action Potential - Link Finally, I arrived at action potentials. Although small, action potentials are responsible for so much- including how I form thoughts and how I am able to type on my computer right now. This class has definitel...
