-I'm teaching a Sunday morning middle school/high school girls class and this week is creation vs evolution. I need to know how to get them more involved.What you do really depends on your objective and exact role in the debate.
If your goal is to help untangle the 'contraversity', then try just talking with them. Most groups will answer their own questions.
If your goal is to teach creationism, then focus on the metephorical meaning of creationism. I'd have students write their own story of how things 'could have happened' in the beginning, have them read them in small groups, and ask them why they chose to have happen what they did. Look for themes and point out themes like the creation story.
If your goal is to teach evolution, then focus on how things develop through time. Tell a story one sentance at a time- each student saying a sentance. Was the eighth sentance even conceived of at the third sentance? Was the development of the story predictable? If midway through you split the group in two, in what way were the stories similar? Different? Etc. Depending on group size, you could have small groups, etc.
Or you can look at phenotypical similarities via skeletal structures, etc.
Well i don't know your side.. Here is how you should teach it.. First god created the world but with no life then he created a burst of energy to create life and give them the ability to evolve. They eventually over hundreds of millions of years evolved into humans.. So both forms are correct in my belief.. It is a little bit of both.. How cab you say creationism is real and the Earth is only 8000 years old when we have carbon dating to 600 million BC.. Make it interactive and play jepordy at the end to see who rememers the most.
