Beowulf and the dragon by Henrietta Marshall (Wikimedia)
            
            Beowulf, Dante’s Inferno, and The Odyssey. I am also interested in some of the geographical units like Japanese mythology and Italian mythology. I will say, I was shocked to not see a unit on Norse mythology, but it’s also possible what I’m thinking of is there under a different name.
I found a number of different units I am interested in. Many of these units are classic tales that are constantly referenced but that I have never taken the time to read myself. I know I would like to read some of the classics on there like:

Some units that interested me:

King Arthur – This is another story that I have always wanted to read. I also really liked the style of writing.

Homer’s Odyssey – This is a unit I am excited about because I read bits and pieces of it for class in high school, but never had the chance to read the full piece.

Beowulf – I like this unit because it is the complete story of Beowulf. I read this story back in middle school and I will be interested in how my perspective on it has changed.

This was probably the best class I took last semester because it was really well organized to create a relaxed environment to learn how to teach yourself different songs. I have also recently gotten in...

The Contractor and the Wolf Boy Who Cried Wolf by Francis Barlow ( Wikimedia )             Once upon a time there was a contractor traveling through the countryside looking for his next plot of land to develop a nice neighborhood. He stumbled upon a beautiful forest. He thought to himself, “I could plow this land up and build a wonderful neighborhood that all the people will come to live in. They’ll pay me extravagantly and I’ll have plenty of money to spend on supper. As he approached the forest to explore a wolf came out. “Why have you come to my forest contractor?” asked the wolf. “I’m going to bulldoze this forest and create a neighborhood here,” said the contractor. “This is not your forest, you cannot do that,” said the wolf. “Well, then,” said the contractor, “I do not see anyone’s name on this forest, so who says I can’t take it?” “I say,” said the Wolf, “I rule over this forest and have made my marking all over the tr...
