Our teenage students face many issues in their daily lives. Whether those issues are digital, medical, social, or ethical, the new Today's Hot Topics can help encourage students, teachers, and families to explore the issues of the day and develop their own opinions informed by Jewish values.
Each chapter of Today's Hot Topics includes a complete package of resources that will help you lead discussion about a Hot Topic with your students.
The chapter packages contains:
- An article that includes stories and acecdotes, and explores the issues from multiple perspectives.
- A source sheet of relevant Jewish texts that speaks to the Hot Topic.
- A lesson plan that takes you step-by-step through strategies for presenting the Hot Topic to a group of students; including essential questions, objectives, and accompanying activities across multiple disciplines.
- A glossary of Jewish values and which lessons they can connect to.
