Have you had discussions about creation and evolution in your classroom? If so, how did those go? Is there anything you would do differently? If you have not had these discussions in your classroom, how do you think you would handle them?
-
Yes, well. No.

I start every year with the discussion of Creation in social studies. The first day of school, we begin learning the 6 days of Creation + the first day of rest. My students after a few days have to have these memorized. It is important we start the year like this because the rest of the year and everything we discuss and learn about the Bible comes from this core belief.

Yes, as a librarian, we discuss creation quite a bit. For example, when we are reading tall tales and discussing the characteristics of tall tales, we learn that often they contain explanations for how landmarks or natural landforms are created. We read scriptures in Genesis about creation. We have also watched brief videos about intelligent design and talk about the earth is in just the right place in the universe to sustain life. Just like the waves do not produce written words in the sands, our earth and its supporting structures did not happen by a random explosion/accident. An intelligent creator created it.

I teach Middle School Science, and we have these discussion often, especially in 8th grade. We analyze and compare/contrast both Creation and Evolution theories and find evidence from Scripture supporting Creation. I think these conversations go well as it allows them to analyze the world, and universe, from different view points, but ultimately come to the conclusion that Creation is supported by not only science, but Scripture as well. This is my first year teaching Middle School Science, so I know I have lots of room for improvement.

Yes, they were more directive towards creation. Now, I would would take a more open hand and facilitative approach.
