Dear Teachers, Tomorrow yet another school year begins. What will you do in your English classroom? I wish you a fulfilling year with lots of creative work going on in your classroom. Think about using a portfolio/log around the theme of the festivals. See http://web.macam.ac.il/~bev/Book/introduction.htm for something of the theory about incorporating special days into your teaching schedule. For those special days themselves do you need ideas, information, songs, word activities and classroom activities? Have a look at my materials in "Cycle of the Jewish Year." The direct link is http://web.macam.ac.il/~bev/Book/1%20Hagei%20Tishrei.htm<http://web.macam.ac.il/%7Ebev/Book/1%20Hagei%20Tishrei.htm> Here you will find ideas for the new year, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Booths. The site can also be accessed through the ETNI site (elementary teachers - holidays - Cycle of the Jewish year) Feedback appreciated.
