UnTextbook Reading Choices

As I was looking through the UnTextbook (which is a really cool source), I found some readings that stood out to me.

My first choice would most certainly have to be the Nigeria Unit. This is my first choice because I'm Nigerian (both of my parents were born there) so I'm extremely interested to read from this unit. I always really enjoy learning more about my culture. I can't wait to get started on this reading and relate it to what I already know about the country!

Secondly, I think I might want to read is the Alice in Wonderland Unit. This reminds me a lot of my childhood! I loved this story growing up, along with the movies made. I'm sure this unit will be a great read.

Next, for my third choice, I chose the Decameron Unit. It's very intriguing to here multiple accounts from different people in stories so I also think this will be an engaging read. I also like learning about Medieval Europe, so I think this will give me a good chance to learn more about the culture.

Lastly, for my fourth UnTextbook reading choice, I believe I will read the Adam and Eve unit. I think this will be a thought-provoking one. I'm very curious to see how authors took the famous biblical story and put their own spin to it.

Above, I placed a picture of the Oguta Lake located in Nigeria. I decided to have this picture on this post because it relates to my first reading choice unit: Nigeria. Not only that, but it reminds me a lot of when I visited the country. When I was in Nigeria, me and my family saw part of the Niger river. Although different, the Oguta Lake picture just took me back to that time where I experienced the beauty of the culture.
