After reading the assigned text, what did you learn are some of the most important ideas in stories from Iceland? Are Icelandic folk tales like ones you are familiar with, or are they completely different? Formulate a simple research question based on these concepts. For example, you might ask, "What are common themes in Icelandic folk tales?" Go online, do a quick search for information, and write down your findings. Look over what you found and ask yourself, "What else do I want to know?" Form a new research question based upon your interest.

In a paragraph of at least 150 words, note your first research question, the information you found in your research, and your second, new research question.
