Reading the biblical unit was something I wanted to do when enrolling in this class. If there's something that I don't know really much about, it's the stories of the bible. I knew of Adam and Eve, and the first time I actually heard of it was in middle school. My teacher was religious and she really wanted to convey the messages in these stories -- as I believe all religions have a takeaway message.
If I were to write a story using the story of Eve, I would consider either making it A) more modern or B) try to recreate the story from a Hindu perspective. I believe that all religions are connected somehow, and after having read the Indian Epics, I am sure there could be some way I could redo this story with a Hindu background.
I really am excited to read more of these units and gain insight on stories of the Bible. I believe it is so important to be educated on all religions as a sign of respect and just to be more knowledgeable in general. I'll read more Biblical units this coming week, and maybe try to use one of the styles I was thinking above -- or come up with something new!

Yes! This is exactly the Unit that I flocked to right when this class began. I was so excited to learn more about this, and really, with how neatly organized everything is on the UnTextbook, in terms of the different components, we really have no excuse not to check it out! I completely agree when you say that it is important to be educated on religions as a whole, not just one. It's so true, it seems like the respectful thing to do!
