Topic Brainstorm

OU GHOST STORIES:
I actually had no idea OU was even haunted until I saw this! Now it makes sense because I could of sworn the house I lived in last year on campus was haunted. It is so interesting but a bit spooky. The most well known story is the story of Ellison Hall and I was just in there today! I'm a sucker for scary movies so I feel that I could easily use my imagination of a haunting at the university. I hope I never run into any ghosts on campus!



MILO OF CROTON:
Milo of Croton was one of the greatest greek athletes of all time! He was a six time olympic victor in wrestling. I feel that it would be a great story to re tell his story through an OU football stand point. Especially after our big win against Ohio State this week. There is obviously the Baker route I could go with the story telling. BOOMER!



PIRATES:
I really think that this would be a fun story to retell. From the stealing and looting, to drinking and capturing ships, I believe I could get quite creative with this subject. I am going to pick one famous pirate from the past and hopefully I can find the craziest one of all. Id love to read that story and figure out all the things he did.



NURSERY RHYMES:
I feel like there is so much room for creativity with all the nursery rhymes we have all heard growing up as kids. From jack and jill, to three blind mice, to little bo peep. I think that putting a modern twist on these old nursery rhymes could be a fun and interesting thing to do! Who wouldn't want to change up the stories of their childhood a bit.

  1. Hi Zack!
    All of your topics sound extremely interesting. Whichever way you decide to go, it looks like you'll have a great topic. Ghost stories would capture anyone's attention, and if you decided to write about OU being haunted I would for sure check back on your blog to see that. Milo of Croton as Baker Mayfield? That is such a smart, interesting twist on the story!

  2. Hey there Zack! I am really glad you decided to go with the OU Ghost stories! While I think your other ideas were also good, the ghost stories would be the most fun to write and also the most relatable for the average person reading your stories in my opinion! And I also love what you have done with your stories too it has turned out really well and has been incredibly entertaining!

Week 5 Story: The Tale of Johnny Gloke

Check out the stroy on my portfolio Here! Johnny Gloke was a farmer by trade, but, like a man of spirit, he grew tired of his trade and wished to follow a path that would lead to honor and fame. So for a time he was much fonder of sitting around thinking of what he could do rather than tending the crop. One day Johnny Gloke was walking around his farm trying to find something to do. He was in the barn and came across a leather football. He walked outside and saw a beehive hanging from a tree about 40 yards away. He wound up and three the football and stuck the beehive right in the middle and knocked it down. He was overjoyed at his success and his heart rose to the doing of the great deed. He now knew what his path would be to fortune and honor. So he set out to find the best college football program to go play for. He grabbed his football and headed for college. He came across a college, The University of Oklahoma. Oklahoma needed a quarterback and Johnny Glock knew he was th...

Learning Challenge: I wish my teacher knew....

This is the first time I have seen this story. I think it is a good way to connect with kids and really understand that not every kid is the same and you have to adapt as teacher to kids environments to connect with them and find out the best way for them to learn. Keeping this anonymous is key because a lot of these children would be embarrassed to tell others and now a days would probably get made fun of for it. I think this teacher had an amazing idea and I hope that teachers all across the country are using this method to help there students feel comfortable admitting something because I think that will help them with being able to swallow their pride and ask for help later in life. Its all about trust. Photo from NYT

Turks and Caicos... My FAVORITE Place

My favorite place in the whole world is Providenciales Island in Turks and Caicos. I have been going every New years week for the last three years and I absolutely love it there. The water is a color that is indescribable and is just amazing to look at. It is so clear you can see the bottom of the ocean almost every where you go! The food and culture is a big mix of a lot of places, so you definitely can find something you enjoy. My favorite thing to do there is to go snorkeling as it is one of the best places to snorkel and scuba dive in the world! The water color and white sand beaches are stunning!                                                                   Photo by Agile Levine As you can see the colors are magnificent and the water is so clear!
