For my reading this week, I chose the Canterbury Tales unit. I was
not sure what the unit was about, but the brief description intrigued me. I thought that maybe it would be reminiscent
of the Grimm fairy tales, which it vaguely is.
I did not expect that Greek mythology would be incorporated into the
stories, however. Ovid and Apollo were
mentioned in the first few stories, which I thought was very interesting for a
British unit!
I really liked that these stories were longer, as it was
great to have some continuity to them.
However, I was not particularly impressed with any of the tales in the
first half of the unit. None of them
stood out to me or caught my eye. I
liked the general storyline, but they seemed all too familiar to me. I hope that the other half of the unit
contains better stories!
