Interview With Yehudah

We've completed another segment of our unit on perek (chapter) 44 in Parshat Vayigash. After Yosef threatens to imprison Binyamin, Yehudah steps forward and offers himself in exchange.

To help students apply the concepts and ideas tied to this storyline, I have asked the class to develop a mock interview with Yehudah. Students will be assessed on their ability to:

• create meaningful queries based on a given set of informational points
• present meaningful responses to their questions in Yehudah's "voice"
• creatively tie together stands of information in an organized and clever format

I'll use a rubric to measure student success and will share the results with you. Look for the final drafts by tomorrow night's "Meet the Teacher" conferences.
