Reading Notes: The Creation of the World (A)

I thought this was such a beautiful story of how Earth created the world. My favorite part was the creation of the stars, and how Earth spit out water when the sun and moon were not visible, and there was only darkness…how creative! I also really liked how nature was a huge theme. Earth was the one that pretty much created nature in my opinion in this story, or at least that was what interpreted.

There is a lot I can do with this story. I still would like for my main character to be Earth, and Earth creating nature. However, I would like to add in a bit of humor into the story. You can never go wrong with a little bit of humor. I also want to include dialogue between Earth, sun, and the moon! I may or may not include stars as the characters. I think it’ll be a very cute and fun story to read! It’ll be so much fun creating the word. I think I’ll really enjoy being creative with this story, and I think it could be one of my favorites! Another area that I could include is seasons!

Seasons are always a fun theme. I think Fall is going to be my inspiration because the leaves are falling around me, and the colors are starting to finally make their appearance! I think there will be lots of imagery in this story I can work with. I can create pictures with my words, which I absolutely love doing! Colors, seasons, touch, aroma, vibes, and many other “feel good” things will be included! I’m excited!

  1. Hi Dhara!
    I really enjoyed reading your story notes for the creation of the world. I thought your notes were detailed and concise. After reading how you took notes over the readings I think I’m going to be able to take some of the tactics you used and apply them to my own note taking. Overall, you did a great job!
