Tech Tip: Canvas Calendar

I was really excited to complete this Tech Tip because I am not very familiar with everything that Canvas has to offer. I have heard great things about the Canvas calendar but was not quite sure how to use it. I currently use the calendar provided to me on my iPhone. I would like to be able to synch the Canvas calendar to the calendar on my iPhone but I could not quite figure it out. I think that would be very helpful because the due dates in my classes would be readily available for me to see in my iPhone calendar on the go.

Reading Notes: Chinese Fairy Tales, Part B

Image Information: cover for the Chinese Fairy Book. Web Source.

I did not like the ending to The Little Hunting Dog. If I chose to rewrite this story, I would retell it with a happier ending.

I like the story of Retribution. I thought about retelling this story with the same idea and outcome but a different setting and different characters.

I liked the story of The Maiden Who Was Stolen Away. Since I normally like to retell stories with a happier ending, I figured I could retell this story where she does not find out that he is an ogre and agrees to marry him.

It would be interesting to retell the story of The Flying Ogre. If I retold it, I would make the girl a human being that everyone wrongfully accuses of being an ogre. The monk would either lie and save her life or tell the truth and have her killed only to find out she was not an ogre.

Reading Notes: Chinese Fairy Tales, Part A

Image Information: cover for a Chinese fairy tale book. Web Source: whyvisitchina.

I would be interested in retelling the story of The Favorite of Fortune and the Child of Ill Luck. I would want to retell it with a happier ending. Maybe her luck changed because of the man she married and her father sees her wonderful life with him and feels bad that he ever questioned her.

I would like to retell the story of Why Dog and Cat are Enemies. I'm thinking of either telling a new story for why they are enemies or telling of events after they became enemies in how their relationship changed. I have also thought about telling the story with a happy ending.
