I am not going to lie... I was worried I wouldn't find some of the units interesting. However, after browsing through the storybooks, I am genuinely excited for EVERY unit, especially European (that's where the Disney stories come in the most)!

I was hoping to find Polynesian and Hawaiian stories, but I couldn't! I wish those were on there (or if they are, I wish I could find them).

I chose this image because as an extreme Disney fan, I am really excited to read the original stories. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite movies, so I chose to include this cool statue of the original Little Mermaid.

    I am so glad you found things you like, Libby! And even with its 100 units, the UnTextbook is barely the teeny-tiniest tip of the story iceberg, which is what the Storybook project is for: that's a chance for you to find ANY topic of interest to you, read stories (extra credit reading!), and follow your own curiosity. I have collected LOTS of books of Polynesian and Hawaiian stories here: full-text books of PACIFIC ISLAND stories online ... that's a personal interest of mine too since I lived in Hawaii for a while when I was little! So definitely keep that in mind as something to explore for the Storybook brainstorming later in Week 2! :-)

Introduction to an Aspiring Dermatologist

Hello, everyone! I figured if y'all are going to be reading my blog posts all semester that I should probably tell you a little bit about myself.  Hi! My name is Libby Helm and I am from Dallas, Texas (for all my Dallas people--I grew up in Carrollton, now I live in Coppell). My declared major is Chemical Biosciences (Pre-Med) but I have been teetering between medical school and PA school. If I decide PA--which I *think* I am leaning towards--then I will switch to a Planned Program major, which will mirror Chemical Biosciences very closely. So, yes, my major is very complicated! However, the end goal is the same: to become a dermatologist. Here is a summed up version of why: As a child I had gotten acne long before any of my peers did, while moles and freckles covered my body, as they did my father's. Earlier diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma, which turned into Melanoma, my father had to undergo surgery to remove the cancer. Between the premature acne and suspicious moles, my...

Week 7 Story: The Real Story of the Lovers' Leap

  A long time ago lived a girl and a boy who were madly in love. But, like Romeo and Juliet, their families did not accept their love and forced them apart. This was due to the ancient family feud between the families (but that is another story). Of course, the lovers tried to sneak out and see each other, but they were always caught. They were miserable without each other! One day, they snuck out again and met in the woods. Just as they ran into each other's embrace, they heard shouting from not far away. They bolted together, trying to have a few more moments together. It was then that they decided to just wait patiently for the right moment. They stopped and kissed just as both fathers yanked them away. Days, months, and years went by as the lovers patiently waited for the right time to escape. It was on day 1982 that the girl's father thought she had forgotten about the boy. In celebration, he decided to throw a feast! He wanted to invite all of the other noble men in the ...
