Name That Critter

This activity explores the power of naming something. Often when we
think of the language of Breishit – dominion and ruling over Creation
and stewardship – we imagine physical acts or resource use. But it is
possible to enact dominion through more subtle intellectual pursuits as
well, such as naming. This activity highlights our ability and propensity
for putting ourselves above the rest of Creation through naming, the
positive and negative aspects of that ability, and the responsibility that
comes with it.
