Reading Options

One of the units I am looking forward to reading is the Czech folktales. My last name, Bezdek, is Czech and I think it would be really cool to learn about stories that my ancestors grew up listening to. I like that these stories are similar to other European stories I've heard before, so they will be familiar to me but with a little twist or two.

Another unit that looks fun is the Faerie Queene epic poem. I am all about women empowerment, and a story about a lady knight seems really cool and exciting.  I also love Shakespearean dramas and comedies, and if this prose is similar to his I'm sure I'll love it.

Lastly, I really want to read some stories from Nursery Rhymes. Even though rhyming books are considered childish by some, it's actually really impressive to be able to tell a story that rhymes. I think it will be nostalgic to read some rhymes I used to hear as a kid, and maybe I'll find some new ones I'll want to share with my own family in the future.
