When making my Tentative Schedule, it was so difficult to make a decision, because so many stories grabbed my attention. Ever since I was younger I have always loved reading stories about princesses, magic, fairies, and prince charming. Looking at my schedule I see a theme of stories that I remember hearing when I was a little girl. In Middle Eastern and Indian units I'm really eager to read Arabian Nights, because it includes Aladdin. Later on in Weeks 12 and 13 I'm very excited for Robin Hood and Alice in Wonderland. My interests lie in fairy tale stories that I'm familiar with.
