Book excerpt: The Classroom Guide to the Jewish Holidays is a collection of experiences and resources. It is about what you do after you teach that seder means "order". It is crafts projects and activities, recipes and songs. It is things to do at school and things for parents to do at home.The way to use this guide is simple. First (using backward planning) decide what you are trying to accomplish in your lessons on a holiday. The teacher's guide begins with Central Idea(s); these are the focus of the teaching you are going to do. Underneath these are "enabling ideas." These are the insights that one needs to collect in order to add up to our central idea. It is always easier to hit a target once it is painted. Your job is to collect the enabling ideas you are committed to teaching. Your next step is to shape your tools in order to hit these enabling understandings.
