Reading Review Week
I've enjoyed many of the readings for this class, but I must say that my favorites were the Ovid's Metamorphoses units that I read. I have always been a big fan of Greek/Roman mythology, and these units were very interesting to me. I think it is really cool how the myths give us an idea of where some modern words/concepts came from. For example, the story of Echo and Narcissus tells about the origin of the word narcissism as well as echo. I also really enjoy the stories of Heracles and other heroes. I have actually used these units as part of my storybook too. The theme of my storybook is "Tales of Revenge in Greek Mythology", and all of the stories include Heracles. I enjoy reading, but unfortunately my busy schedule doesn't leave much time for me to read for leisure.

I agree that many of the readings in this class have been pleasurable and entertaining. I have not read Ovid’s Metamorphoses, but it sounds very interesting. I am glad that you are able to use the readings you have done for this class in your storybook. That means that you have found a topic that you really enjoy and are able to expand on it.
