New Hot Topics Series Kicks Off with a Free Lesson Plan
Written by Behrman House Staff, 16 of September, 2014Our new Resource Libraries series, Hot Topics, presents a balanced investigation of some of today's thorniest issues, and provides opportunities for teens to develop personal responses to them.
Students will explore eight issues from a Jewish perspective featuring:
- Social Media: When and What Do You Share?
- Marijuana: Should it be Legal?
- Body Image: How Do We See Ourselves?
- Women of the Wall: Why is it a Big Deal?
- Gay Rights: How Do We Reconcile Ancient Sources with Modern Ethics?
- Israel: Can & How Do We Critique Israel?
- Food Justice
- Guns: Personal Rights vs. Public Safety
Each Hot Topics resource library item includes an article describing the issue, a lesson plan geared towards teens, and a source sheet that can be distributed to students to enhance discussions.
A new topic will become available every two weeks for $3.99.
The first Hot Topic, Social Media, is available now for FREE!
