Blog 5: Analytical Rankings of the New

Shaggy Dog Stories

1.      Categorize:

·         Connection to the Story

·         Humor

·         What the story has in common with your life

·         Simply enjoying the story

2.      Classify:

·         Emotion- People try to relate to the story

·         Knowledge- People try to understand the story

3.      Pattern:

The people (students) would try to understand the story first, and then relate it to them-selves in some way, and after that they would enjoy the story.

4.      Hypothesis:

I believe everyone will enjoy the stories, but I think the third Shaggy Dog story will be ranked number one.

5.      Test the Hypothesis:

The pattern did repeat today in class. It was how everyone tried to understand the story, but they really did enjoy all of the stories, especially one in particular.

6.      Theory:

My theory still remains that everyone will love all of the stories, but they will enjoy the third story the most.
