Civil Discourse in a Politically Turbulent Time


Lesson Summary:

From our friends at JTeach.org

It is unclear what the days and weeks after the election will bring, but political scientists and historians suggest that the ugliness which has marked this season may intensify in the weeks after the election. With this in mind we have put together a list of twelve Jewish values we think are worth highlighting between the election and inauguration. We hope they will inform or encourage conversations about civil discourse you might have with your students during this politically turbulent time.



Aims

  • To provide Jewish values with which to frame conversations in the aftermath of the 2016 American Presidential election.
  • To provide both the impetus and the language to promote civil discourse in the wake of the 2016 American Presidential election

Be Inspired:The ideas included are offered as starting points as you and your students explore, discover and live the lessons. Be sure to elicit and encourage student and parent participation, consistently reinforcing the value being addressed. Allow lessons to authentically develop and change based on engagement and interests.
