I am honestly very excited about the units of week 12 through 15, both weeks are related. I am a very big fan of Greek mythology. I have to credit Rick Riordan for getting me attached to that kind of reading. I have always been a murder/mystery type of person, but once I discovered Rick Riordan's books I was hooked. I was actually surprised by the variety of readings within each unit. I was not expecting as many different options, so that is definitely a plus and exciting. I wanted to mention that before this class I haven't actually taken the time to read content similar to that found in the Native American Unit or the Asian units. I should expand my reading selections, but often it is very easy to stick to the type of reading that you're the most familiar with. I don't think there is any topic I can think of at this moment that I would like to read that's not in the UNTextbook.

The Elephant and Dog

I chose this image, because when I came across it while browsing through the stories I instantly loved the black and white of the image. There really isn't much in the image, but you use your imagination to envision and fill in the blackness with color. 

Happy Tuesday All!
