Creationism

Some teachers don't feel comfortable with the Genesis story, but I use it for three reasons:
1. It's an example of a creation story, which leads into "When Grizzlies Walked Upright"
2. It focuses around Christianity which influenced a majority of early American writers
3. We use it for a little humorous discussion about what ultimately happens between Adam and Eve (even though we don't read about this), furthering our discussion of the class theme ("The Battle of the Sexes").
