Instead of translating each phrase, students are given only the key
words in the sugya to translate.
All words have nekudot.
The words or concepts which are negative are colored red, the
words or phrases that are positive are colored blue. This helps orient
weaker students to the thought process behind each phrase.
Accompanying pictures/diagrams are inserted next to phrases of the
Gemara so the students can associate each phrase with a picture.
Phrases not included in the weaker students handout are summarized
in Did You Know? boxes.
The 3-step process part of the activity is already completed; students
can use this as a guide to understand the lesson.
What are ways of stretching the learning so that stronger students are
enriched and challenged through the learning activity?
The source page of the Gemara is left without nekudot. Students can
use the handout for reference if they are unsure of how to pronounce
the exact term.
Instead of a phrase-by-phrase breakdown to translate, students refer to
an actual picture of the Gemara to translate.
No accompanying preludes are provided. Students are to attempt to
extract the breakdown of the Gemara by translating, and referring to
the diagram in the Process section of the activity.
In the Process section, a diagram is provided, without any English
scaffolding. Students must refer to the actual language of the Gemara to
decipher what each step means.
Students are given an option to figure out the next step of the Gemara
by using the diagram and their own Gemara.
Baseline Activity:
