Aesop's Fables
I have a collection of Aesop's Fables that I used to read when I was younger, so I think it would be really fun and interesting to go through and read some of them again! The stories in this unit look really interesting, especially since they are written in the form of poems. I have always found poetry to be a challenging style of writing, so maybe I can get a chance to create my own poem through inspiration of these readings!
Folktales of Bengal
The stories in this unit look like they have a wide range of topics, which seems interesting to read about! I saw some familiar names in the first few stories, including Sani and Lakshmi, both of which I have read about in the past. I think this unit would be really fun to read / write about later on as well!
Arabian Nights
Just like with Aesop's Fables, I also have "The 1001 Nights" stories, but I have never read the whole book. This seems like a unit I would enjoy, especially because of the "nested storytelling technique" mentioned in the overview. It's a new kind of story for me, so I'm excited to read some of the stories and maybe be able to imitate that style of writing as well. I also see that the second half of the reading is about Aladdin, which is one of my favorite Disney movies! Maybe later on, my project could include some aspects of Aladdin or other Disney movies as well.
