Animals All Aboard Source: Cobble Hill  Bibliography: Genesis CH. 5-11, Kings James bible Author's Note: I took the biblical story of Noah's Ark and wrote it from the animal's point of view. In the original story, God is unhappy with humanity and comes to Noah who is favorable. God gives Noah detailed instructions on how to build an Ark and He makes a covenant with Noah. Noah obeys God, and himself, his wife, the rest of his family board the ark, and a male and female of every pure creature on early board the ark. It rains for 40 days and 40 nights, and every living creature on early who isn't on the boat perishes. The flood last 150 days, then the ark is docked until the Lord summons them all off the ark. God then promises never to destroy the earth again. He reminds Noah of his domain over the animals, and instructs all living creatures to be fruitful and multiply. I decided to write this story from the animal's point of view.  Animals All Aboard  One ...

I love the Ellen show. However, I am always busy at 4pm when it comes on. YouTube is always quick to put up Ellen's best videos. I did not know how to create a YouTube Playlist - but thanks to this week's Tech Tip I now know how to! I made a short playlist of Ellen Videos!  <iframe width="400" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AcMmLmvOYTo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I have only used YouTube to upload videos for school assignments, though I wish I was funny and creative enough to make my own videos! I have not created playlist in the past, but I look forward to doing that in the future now that I know how. For the most part, I just use youtube to look up music videos and movie trailers. I also use it to study. If I am confused on a topic, I YouTube it to find videos to help teach me. Now I can make playlist of good instructional videos!

The readings from this unit were very different from the first half of the readings. I was familiar with the biblical readings of Noah, but I was not familiar with the ones from The Legends of the Jews   by Louis Ginzberg. The Holy Book is a story from Ginzberg's book about how Noah was given the knowledge to build the ark. This story was interesting to read and compare to the biblical story. The Inmates of the Ark ,  another story of Ginzberg's, described how the animals came to Noah and his ark. This story will help me in writing my story from the animal's point of view.The next chapter,  The Flood , is an account of the time spent on the ark during the flood. It provides insight to the challenges that occurred on the boat, and how Noah had to feed some animals during the day, and others at night. This information can be used when writing my account of Noah's ark. Animals Approaching Noah's Ark Source: LDS Media Library 

The Ark ,   The Flood , & After the Flood   and other stories about Noah   from Genesis, King James Bible: I enjoyed reading about Noah's story. I was reminded of all the activities I did when I was younger in Sunday school to learn about the story. In Sunday school the story seems full of life, and focused less on the amount of death that occurred. Rereading stories as you age is valuable, for you pick up on different elements of the story. I think it would be interesting to write this story from the animal's point of view. I would write dialogue between the animals, and give their perspective during this story. I will enjoy switching between different animals and their thoughts on the flood and the environment they are placed in on the ark. The Ark in Space - Source: Wiki Images
