UnTextbook Course Interview

I absolutely love fairy tales, so naturally, the units I turned to were just that - fairy tales.  But even better, there's such a variety in the UnTextbook that I'm sure there will be many new ones.  The Celtic Fairy Tales are in modern language which I appreciate.  That way, I can focus more on the story instead of trying to understand what the other is trying to say.  I read over the first fairy tale and can already tell that this will be a great unit for me to cover.  The next unit I read over was the Canterbury Tales.  Because these are so famous, I thought it was really important for me to cover this unit.  It's a fun unit because the mini-tales within the Canterbury Tales are a competition between the characters to see who could tell the best story.  The next unit I found interesting was the Faerie Queen.  I love romance and comedy, which this unit contains, so I believe that this will be very interesting and the fact that it is written as a poem makes it stand out from some of the other units that I will be reading.  Europa's Fairy Book is the next unit I looked over and I'm especially because although I've heard many of the characters/tales before, there will be twists.  It will be nice being familiar with some of the stories already so that I will be able to recognize the differences.  Brothers Grimm will be interesting as well for the same reason - I've heard many of the stories so catching any differences will be neat!  There's so many more interesting units in the UnTextbook so I may/may not stick with these since there are so many I want to read! What a good problem to have...
