One unit that looks really interesting is Eskimo Folk Tales. This unit calls to me because in Public Speaking I did a speech about the ancient tattoo practices of the Inuit tribes so I feel this would be a great extension of my knowledge.
Another one that looks great is the Robin Hood unit. Everyone heard of Robin Hood as a child so it will be neat to read more on his history and stories. This unit is also written in ballads which is different and exciting.
A final unit that called out to me is that of Women Saints. I grew up religious (Catholic to be exact) so saints were a big part of my childhood. I always love reading about their histories especially the women.

That sounds really good, Ally! And I am glad you are interested in the women saints: their stories are seriously amazing, and they used to be very famous and well known all over the world. Now we just have St. Valentine's Day and Saint Nicholas... but it used to be that the days of the saints were the main way people kept track of the calendar, and the women saints were just as famous as the men! If you grew up Catholic, you have a sense of how the calendar works, but for many people, even those who grew up Christian, the "name days" of the calendar are something totally new.
