Lesson 65

 

 We started the class with a reminder about the ongoing assignment for "The Story of Abraham" and "The Story of Moses."

• Students are taking their notes from the packages and typing clear, detailed answers.
• This work should be written in full sentences, in regular 12pt font, and organized under headings (some sample possibilities are in Lesson 63).
• This work should be finished by Thursday this week, but I have already received several typed up good copies, with rubrics attached.  HARD COPY

We spent a lot of time today talking about antisemitism, and how prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination are interconnected. Students were incredibly thoughtful in their responses - there was a lot of thinking happening in the room (quiet writing and quiet conversation made that evident).

Students were reminded/made aware of the ERASE reporting tool available through the B.C. government - it enables confidential and/or anonymous reporting of any concerns around the ideas we discussed today.

At the very end of the block, students  received a new sheet titled "What  Happened After Exodus?"

•     They should do their best to complete pages 18 and 19 (some blanks are expected).
•     Each group member was assigned either rituals, holidays, or symbols and must do a little research to fill in their section of pages 20/21. Everyone will have two blank sections when they arrive in class tomorrow.
