I chose this unit because I know quite a bit about it. The story of Noah and his Ark is something that I have grown up learning about and hearing about.
Reading it now, for a class rather than in church, kind of gives me a new perspective on the entire story. I am having to imagine this in a more politically correct mindset rather than in my religious mindset that I am so used to.

The Ark:
I find it hard to fathom what it would be like to be told by God that he was going to destroy everyone in the world except you and your family. I don’t know if I would be honored or scared.
The Flood:
This was the story I was most familiar with in the unit. Even though I grew up hearing this story and learning about it, I JUST made the connection that there was one male and one female of each of the animals in order to reproduce after the floods.
After the Flood:
Once again, I was familiar with this story. I cannot imagine the clouds pouring out rain for forty days, then having to just wait for the ground to dry up. I would guess it was awesome to be the only living creatures on earth when they got off.
