Three Coyote Creation Stories: Awesome! A creation story, I love these. Each story is a little bit different which I really liked. A whole new perspective for differing tribes. In the first two stories, the Coyote is not alone and has other animals helping him in creation. But, in the last one the coyote is a lone animal. who saved the planet.

The Great Fire; The Origin of Light: This first story is really cool. Fire was created out of vengeance, for a man who loved two women but they did not love him back. The Coyote seeing the fire ran to put it out, upon doing so he lost all of the water on the earth. He chewed sugar, dug a hole at the bottom of a creek, covered the hole with sugar, and then there was water again. I love learning about the different ways characters make the world and the elements among us. It's so much more of an exciting process than the boring science stuff.
The Great Flood: I liked this story a lot! It's similar to a story earlier on in this unit, but with a few differences. I really liked the use of dialogue. It made the story more relatable and it read a little quicker. There are many different animals included in this story, but the most important one is the spider. The spider eventually saves everyone from a huge flood.
