The geese and the tortoise
Picture information
The unit that I read this week was GREAT! All of the stories
were very entertaining and easy to read and follow. This unit had similar
stories to the unit that I read last week. I am starting to notice some overlap
in stories, especially the one about the tortoise and the geese. I believe I
have read that story three different times. Each time they have been somewhat
different, but the same storyline. The wording and how the story was told
varied unit to unit.
This unit would be a great read for pretty much anyone. The
stories are not too long, and they all involve an animal as the main character.
Therefore, if you love animals then this would be a wonderful unit for you to
read. If you have noticed, most of the units that I have read have involved
animals. Also, all of the stories have great story lines and themes. This makes
storytelling easy and fun. You really get to use your imagination and let the
animals tell the story. The themes are also fun to use. They let you really
take your storytelling in any direction that you would like to.
The untextbook for this unit was very organized, just like
all of the other units. The information provided for the unit is very helpful
and accurate. The notes that were provided on a few of the stories were
helpful. These notes provided background information for the story and even
some extra information about other stories that were similar. The notes
provided are always great and I really enjoy them. They help me understand the
stories and their relation to the overall unit. I do not think that there are
additional notes needed for this unit. It was very well written and easy to
understand.
I would suggest this unit to others and it does not need
anything added to it.
I too have noticed a lot of overlap between the themes in the stories. I enjoy being able to read the different interpretations of the same storyline. It is especially interesting to see how the stories written from different places are similar and how they are different. Some change the moral of the stories and some have slight different endings. I like that part of these readings.
