Brothers Grimm (Crane)
I was interested in this unit because I was drawn to the classic fairytales. The stories described in this unit seem very different from what I was expecting, but in a good way. I was expecting to get princesses and all that goes along with that but instead apparently there are not safe for children fairytales and I kind of want to know what they are about. All the fairytales in this Unit seem very different from one another and I'm excited to read them.(Source)
Tejas Legends
I was originally looking for some Indonesian stories because that's where I grew up but since it's mostly a Muslim country I wasn't sure if they would be influenced by the Middle East or Asia. Then I noticed the Texas stories in the Native American unit and figured if I wanted to do something about where I was from this would work! I'm interested in the storytelling style because they were described as charming and good for children so I'm excited to see how that comes to togetherOvid's Metamorphoses (Books 1-4)
As I have mentioned before I love the Percy Jackson series and Greek Mythology so I really sought this unit out. I read Homer's The Odyssey in high school, and while it was interesting, I'm for something new and with a wide range of stories. I like to learn about all the different gods and goddesses and their interactions with people.(Source)
