Reading Notes: King Arthur, Part A
I like the idea of the sword and of meeting a sorcerer. The one thing I think would be the most fun to change is the quest idea. The quest for the holy grail is amazing and exciting, but I think where I can have some new fun with it would be to have a quest for something else, something that is similarly exciting, but different. I am thinking of some ideas from other stories, like a dagger that can turn back time for a certain length, or even a cloak of invisibility that can be used to the advantage of whoever owns it. This could put some division among the knights and their king and spice up the story a little bit.

Hi John, I just saw this post go up, but this is still a Classical-Biblical week. So you can count this reading for extra credit if you finished reading all of Part A (I wasn't sure?)... but you need to read the instructions for this week: it's still Classical-Biblical; the English units come up later in the semester. Here are the instructions for Week 3:
