This week I read the unit Tejas
Legends. I was very impressed with this unit. Each story was unique and
interesting to read. The titles of the stories caught my attention and I
believe that this helped me keep reading. I read the entire unit in one day,
instead of breaking it up. This unit I was really able to see the connection
between the stories and the Native American culture with an emphasis on Texas.
All of the stories did a good job of incorporating some part of Native America.
This could have been the animals involved, where the setting was located, and
even things that are unique to their culture. Most of the stories had a positive
overall theme. This was the part that I really enjoyed. The stories focused on
the nature. Therefore, the main characters of each story were normally an
animal and a plant. I enjoyed how they drew relationships between the animals
and plants.
This unit is a good unit for most people.
The language that the stories are told in is easy to understand and follow. There
is imagination in each story. Plants and animals are able to talk and have
personalities. None of the stories were confusing to me. Each story has some
notes from Laura. These notes help explain what the story is going to be about
and even provide a little more background information. The notes are extremely
helpful and add wonderful information. I would suggest this reading to anyone.
All of the information given about this story provided on
untextbook is accurate. I do not believe that anything needs to be added to
this unit. It is a great unit full of wonderful stories and a lot of background
information about Native America. This unit is in my top 3 or 4 of the
semester.
