A PURIM CHECKLIST From: DR. SYLLABUS Date:January 18, 1996 The following is not a syllabus for Purim. It is simply a checklist or an overview to which you may want to add items or interpretations. Each item can be dealt with at a different level. For example, a lesson(s) about the story of Purim in Grade 1 will be very different from a lesson in Grade 6 or 10, both in terms of the subject matter the detail and the level of sophistication. The fact that you choose to teach about Purim means that you or your school, has an explicit or implicit rationale that justifies its inclusion in the school curriculum or the particular syllabus (subset of curriculum) in which it is found. It is suggested you make sure you have some broad goals in mind when teaching about Purim and some specific objectives or outcomes for each lesson or unit. This should give your teaching and your pupils a focus. It should also assist in your and their motivation. It will probably also help you assess whether you have achieved what you set out to do. Here is the Dr.’s prescription, which you can take in the doses you decide, if at all!
