Motivators – Shemot 18
Art
Art is a great motivator to get less textually oriented students involved in class. Have students compare the two different portraits of Yitro's visit as an entree into chapter 18 and some of the questions the chapter raises. For details, see Yitro's Arrival in Art.
Chalk Talk
- Write on the board:
"Ralbag claims that due to Moshe's deep spirituality he would often err in mundane matters, and did not have good administrative skills. Do you agree?"
- After students engage in "board discussion,"1 lead into Did Moshe Need Yitro's Advice?
Room for Debate
See Shabbat Table Discussions under the Family menu.
These are some samples.
Educators – please write in and share your creativity with others!
