Reading Plans

In the coming weeks, we get the chance to explore Native American stories! Here are a few of the units that I think look really interesting!

For week 9, I think I would like to read Native American Marriage Tales! I really like that these stories come from a myriad of different tribes so I can get a different perspective on a special tradition. Also, this unit seems to have several animal narrators. Hopefully, I can take inspiration from them for my own animal storytellers in my project!

In week 10, I would like to dive into The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I have always loved epic poems and I think it would be fascinating to read a different cultural interpretation of the class epic hero. On the same train of thought as week 9's unit, I am most excited for the stories about Hiawatha'sWooing and Wedding Feast.
