While reviewing this course's UnTextbook for the first time was certainly overwhelming, I quickly became excited about the content I will be choosing to read! I love the wealth of information and combinations available to us, and compiled a short list of the units I might like to read over the course of the semester. Here are a few I'm most looking forward to:
The Brothers Grimm - I am excited to explore the translations of more unfamiliar tales!
Adam and Eve - This semester, I am also in a course called Genesis: In the Beginning, in which we discussed how the first book of the Bible came to be. Obviously, these stories will play into our class topics.
Noah - For the same reasons mentioned above, I am excited to dig into Noah's Ark!
Beowulf - I remember reading Beowulf in high school, and am eager to see if my understanding and interpretations of the story have changed after four years.
Hans Christian Andersen - I have always heard that Andersen's original The Little Mermaid is drastically different from Walt Disney's, and I look forward to discovering those differences for myself!
Hi Jessie! I agree with you that I often feel like that picture that you shared in your blog post. I too also felt very overwhelmed by the amount of content in the UnTextbook, but I enjoyed reading and researching different ideas in it. I've seen that other students had similar interests in the Adam and Eve unit in the UnTextbook, seems to be a popular interest. I hope to read other posts that you have in the future.
ReplyDeleteHey Jessie. I was raised in a church family, so I have never given much in depth thought to the book of Genesis, I didn't even know we had a class over it! That is really cool that you're going to be studying it as well as Noah's Ark specifically, I am jealous of that. Good luck with those courses!
