In Chаpter 2, yоu encоuntered оne of the most striking pаrаllels in all of ancient literature. The Epic of Gilgamesh (Sumerian/Akkadian, ca. 2100–1200 BCE) contains a detailed flood narrative: the hero Utnapishtim is warned by a god, builds a great boat, loads it with living creatures, weathers a catastrophic flood, sends out birds to find dry land, and offers sacrifice when the waters recede. The structural similarities to Genesis 6–9 are too close to be coincidental. Yet the two accounts arrive at very different conclusions about the nature of the divine, the meaning of the flood, and what it says about human beings and their relationship to the gods. Using specific details from both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Genesis flood narrative (chapters 6–9), write an essay that addresses the following: First, identify at least three specific parallels between the two accounts — places where the narratives share plot details, imagery, or structure. Then, identify what you consider the most theologically significant differences between them. Pay particular attention to: Why does the flood happen? What kind of being sends it? How do the gods (or God) respond after the waters recede? Second, the lecture noted that in the Gilgamesh account, the flood is sent by capricious gods who afterward "regret and squabble," while in Genesis, God acts in moral judgment, preserves the righteous, and seals his promise with a covenant. What does this difference reveal about the two traditions' understandings of divine character? What does it say about the human beings in each story — are they victims of divine whim, or are they moral agents in a world governed by a God of character? Third, some students find the Gilgamesh parallel troubling — as if it "proves" that Genesis is merely borrowed mythology. Others find it clarifying or even strengthening to the biblical account. Where do you land, and why? Does the existence of a flood tradition across multiple ancient cultures threaten, support, or complicate a thoughtful reading of the Genesis account? Defend your position with specific reasoning, not just assertion. Your essay should be a minimum of three well-developed paragraphs. You are expected to quote or paraphrase from both texts directly. Unsupported generalizations will not receive full credit.

Culturаl perspectives аre uniquely persоnаl and infоrm educatоrs' work in the classroom. Zaretta Hammond (2015) describes culture as mental models, or schema, operated in three levels. Match the three levels with their definition.
Instructiоns: Chооse ONE of the following three essаy prompts to аnswer. Option 1: A student nаmed Lily becomes anxious and overwhelmed during fire drills because of the loud sound. She often covers her ears and refuses to leave the room. How could a teacher use a social story and visual prompts to help Lily manage her response to fire drills? Option 2: As a general education teacher, describe three specific actions you could take to support a student who is exhibiting challenging behaviors while waiting for a special education evaluation to be completed. Option 3: Marcus becomes dysregulated during transitions from recess to seated work, disrupting others and struggling to focus. Describe two environmental modifications and one transitional routine you could use to help Marcus successfully navigate these transitions.
