For Part A of the Arabian Nights Unit, I chose to write over
the Story of the Fisherman. I wanted to connect this story to my Part B of
Aladdin. So in this part of the story a poor fisherman does what he can to
support his family. He always goes out to the lake to try and find food for his
poor, starving family to make ends meet. Every time he had thrown his net, he
would either get garbage, fish carcasses, or shells! So for my notes, I would probably
change one major thing- on the fisherman’s last try of the day he would pull in
a treasure chest. This poor old man who is trying to catch fish to bring home
to his family, now has caught a giant treasure chest! The only problem is, that
he cannot get into the chest. So throughout the journey of getting the chest
onto his boat without anyone else seeing, and trying to get it home, he come
across many obstacles. I would eventually make it to where he had gotten it
home and told his family all about it. Because he does not have a key to open
to box, or an axe to chop it open, he would go on a journey to find something
to open this chest. Along this journey, he would come across a large cave that
seemed very strange to him…

Hi Lauren, I am not sure why you did two Aladdin posts here: Aladdin is ONE-HALF of a unit. Each week there are two parts to read: Part A and Part B. Aladdin is Part B of the Arabian Nights unit, so you still need to read Part A. I hope that makes sense; let me know! Every week there is a Part A and Part B, and you need to read both if you are going to take credit for both reading assignments for the week.
