Reading Options

Never have I ever been in a class where I can choose what I would like to learn about, and I must say I am excited! The UnTextbook has so many options and resources that it is definitely going to be a challenge to narrow down which I am  most interested in. 

Readings of Interest

After browsing the types of readings I have found a few options that I believe I will really enjoy reading.

The first section that caught my attention was the Brothers Grimm units because Grimm's Fairy tales are already something I am familiar with. I am particularly interested in the Ashliman unit of the Brothers Grimm section since it is translated into contemporary English and has both familiar and unfamiliar stories.

The second unit that caught my attention was the Robin Hood unit. The story of Robin Hood is familiar, but it will be interesting to read, and even listen to,  the ballads that inspired the legends of Robin Hood.

Unlike the other two units that caught my interest, I am not as familiar with Ancient Egyptian Myths and Stories. It is one of my life goals to visit the Great Pyramids of Egypt so I think it would be a great experience to read and learn about the Myths behind Ancient Egyptian culture.
