I am very excited for all of these units. Mythology has always been very intriguing to me because they were spread throughout so many countries and they have such strong similarities but they are not the same. I think that I am most excited for week 3 and 4 because I love Greek mythology. I enjoy learning about the gods and each of their offspring and how that effected their lives.

They were spinning a thread on thei...
