Teachers who use the textbook
Hebrew from Scratch part 1, have long felt a need for additional exercises and
assignments to provide students with more practice opportunities.
Previously, their only options were
to either create new supplemental exercises, or adapt existing ones from other
beginner textbooks. Now comes to their aid ‘Me-Po le-Sham’ (“From Here to
There”), a companion text to volume 1 of Hebrew from Scratch that follows the
textbook chapter by chapter, providing a variety of exercises intended to
enrich and reinforce the vocabulary and grammar topics that are introduced in
each chapter.
Exercise formats range from verb
review drills, to completion and selection sentence level tasks, to cloze
sections with accompanying word banks to open-ended functional writing tasks.
The practice materials in Me-Po le-Sham have been tried and tested in the classroom over the course of many years, and have been proven effective in developing greater fluency and accuracy in written and oral language. The plentiful and easily adaptable exercises can be used for individual work outside of the class (homework) or, for individual or small group practice in class (where the “flipped classroom” model is applied).
