This document contains instructions and assignments for three different levels of a 10th grade Gemara class. The basic level assignment involves translating words from a word bank and answering questions about making Kiddush and Havdalah. The lower level assignment has similar translation and question activities. The high level assignment asks students to provide another example of consideration for inanimate objects, cite another example of a common reason given, and propose a question they would submit to the sages if living in that time period.
