Civic Responsibilities - Creation vs. Scientific Theory VTC

On Tuesday, Nov. 24, from 9:00 - 10:30 am HTH students will participate in a live video conference with other students across the globe to discuss the Creation Theory and Scientific Theories.  As a country and citizen of the United States, how do we support multicultural views of how our world began?  Students will be expected to log onto a forum site and post their thoughts, as well as respond to others.  Our Tuesday's vtc will be a final activity for this unit.

In America, we have numerous types of religions that all have different creation theories.  We will be posting these theories, and how they compare/contrast with the Christian and Science.
