Week 2 Reading Overview: Myth-Folklore

I'm going to be taking both classes, so I'm not sure I will be doing the reading every week in both classes. The Indian Epics reading is going to be more relevant to some of my ongoing projects, so I might just get to Myth-Folklore part of the time. But we'll see! Here are the units that I am most interested in working on:

Choose from CLASSICAL and/or BIBLICAL units for Weeks 3 and 4.
Week 3: Tiny Tales from Aesop: I want to try out some of the storytelling ideas! 
Week 4: Tiny Tales from Aesop

Choose from MIDDLE EASTERN and/or INDIAN units for Weeks 5 and 6.
Week 5: Tiny Tales from Nasruddin 
Week 6: Tiny Tales from India

Choose from ASIAN and/or AFRICAN units for Weeks 7 and 9. [Week 8 is review week.]
Week 7: Anansi: I should have some good 100-word Anansi stories to share by then. 
Week 9: Brer Rabbit. I can never get enough Brer Rabbit!

Choose from NATIVE AMERICAN units for Weeks 10 and 11.
Week 10: Cherokee (because I will be working on the Southeastern project soon) 
Week 11: Southwestern (that is my other planned Native American focus)

Choose from BRITISH and/or CELTIC units for Weeks 12 and 13.
Week 12: Welsh Tales: I can definitely imagine doing a Welsh Tiny Tales project. 
Week 13: More Welsh Tales

Choose from EUROPEAN units for Weeks 14 and 15.
Week 14: Italian (I love the stories in the Crane book) 
Week 15: [Dead Week; I plan to be done by the end of Week 14, maybe Week 13]

I'm excited about having the Tiny Tales books from this summer be part of the class this semester, and if all goes well, I should have the Anansi book, plus the SE and SW Nations books ready for Spring semester, and then Brer Rabbit and Coyote both ready for Fall 2021.
