Week 2 Reading Overview



After looking through the reading overview and discovering what topics we will be reading about this semester, there are some that I am looking forward to more than others. I think the top three topics that I am most interested in include the Ancient Greece unit, Ancient Rome unit, and the Hero Tales from the British Celtic Unit. I really enjoy learning about Roman history as I took a class called Italian Renaissance Architecture a year ago, and loved learning about how some of the most incredible buildings in all of Italy were inspired by many different epics and ancient heroes. I'm very excited to be using the different sources on UnTextbook and the FreeBookapalooza site to learn about these different stories.

    Hi Randy! I saw you were in a rush to do this; when you get a chance this weekend, come back around and find the specific units you want to do (which ancient Greek unit? etc.) ... there's a chart in the instructions you can copy and paste into the blog post and use. You don't need to do that today, but just make sure you do that this weekend so that you'll have something specific in mind when it's time to start the reading for Week 3 and for the weeks after that. :-)

I am originally from Overland Park, Kansas, and have been attending the University of Oklahoma for the last three and a half years.

The second reason is that when first touring the campus, I felt like this was home. source :  Block O U. credit Wikimedia BOOMER SOONER! I had been on many college visits and this campus really felt comfortable and perfect for me. The third reason, and maybe the most important reason is that I wanted to continue my athletic career throughout college, and as a gymnast, there is no better place in the country than the University of Oklahoma.

In this great kingdom, there were other three other kings, King Freddy, who ruled the northern hemisphere, King Wendy, who ruled the eastern hemisphere, and finally King Whatta, who ruled the southern hemisphere. Once a year, all the kings would get together and talk about economics, war, and politics. One day, King McDonald told the other kings that his three most valuable possessions had disappeared, his Burger Sapphire, his Fry Ruby, and his beloved Milkshake Gauntlet. These were three of the most valuable items in all of the Chain. The other kings were not surprised that they had gone missing, as King McDonald was known for being out late partying and drinking with the clowns of his kingdom. Each of the kings offered their condolences and went back to their homelands.  When King McDonald returned home, a local hobbit came forward and told the king that he had
