This unit was a little different than the past couple of
units that I have read. I enjoyed this unit however. I believe that the notes provided
were really helpful. The notes left a good background for the stories. In the
story, How the Tortoise got its shell, the notes were extremely helpful. I
would have never know that chief Mauri was God, Fida was Friday, Mr. Klo was
the tortoise, or Koklovi was the chicken. Therefore, the notes played a big
role in being able to understand the story.
I believe that everything that we needed to know about this
unit was provided. The story length was accurate, as well as the language was
easy to read. (The notes helped on certain characters). If you enjoy titles that make you want to keep
reading to find out what the story is really about, then this is the unit for
you. All of the stories do use a big imagination, which I believe is what makes
them interesting.
My favorite story has to be either how wisdom became property of the human race or How the Tortoise got its shell. Both of the stories, I wanted to read right away after
reading the title. The title kind of left a big door open. I was impressed with
both stories and how they turned out.
My least favorite story in this unit was the leopard and the
ram. I feel like the first paragraph makes you think the story is going to be completely
different than it was. I think that this story could have had a more exciting
story line that made readers want to keep reading.
Overall, I enjoyed this unit, but it was not my favorite
unit of the semester. The untextbook for this unit was easy to follow and
everything was very well organized. The notes were not too much throughout the
unit, they were very helpful.
