Checking out the Untextbook

Here's the Untextbook

The four units that really caught my eyes were:

Dante's Inferno- I read parts of Dante's Inferno in high school and really loved it, so i'm looking forward to getting into it again. Also, I just replayed the Dante's Inferno video game and I will be able to compare the game and it's rendition of the levels of hell with the epic that is Dante's Inferno! Here's a collage I found of screenshots from the game:

Egyptian Myth- Obviously I am looking forward to this unit because I am a huge fan of Egyptian mythology and always have been. I am excited to see which gods/goddesses/stories are featured in this unit.

Alice in Wonderland- who doesn't love this fairy tale? Honestly, Alice has always been a fun story that was both a little inappropriate and fantastical which has drawn me to her story. Plus, I took a quick look at the actual unit and it looks like we will be reading most of the original story so i'm excited about that. I've never actually read the original!

Brothers Grimm (Hunt)- I have read the entirety of the Brother's Grimm tales and love them. I love comparing what we see in Disney movies to what the actual story is like! I am interested in all of the Grimm units, but chose this one because these were household fairy tales.
