Intro to Philosophy
Instructions
In the second unit in this class, we have focused on two things; we’ve looked at various texts in which the authors argue for a specific view on the mind-body problem and we have attempted to identify and report arguments. This assignment will bring these together.
You are asked to consider the following question: how is the mind related to the body or brain?
Ok, now that you’ve sorted that out, consider the passages below the instructions, from several of our our authors, namely, Descartes, Papineau, or Jackson. For this essay, you must consider one of these authors. Re-read the passage I have provided, in which he or she answers one of the above two questions. You might find that the author really answers both questions at the same time, or not.
Having re-read the passage, you must next try to find not only the author's answer(s) to the above question(s), but the reasons offered in support of his view.
What you must write in your Blue Book:
Now - and only now! — is it time to write. Here is what your paper must contain:
1. First, identify which author you’ll be considering.
2. You must next state, clearly, simply, and accurately, what your chosen author would say in response to the above questions. This should not be more than a single paragraph — get to the point! This might even be called your thesis or controlling idea. It’s the idea you’ll be exploring in the rest of the paper.
3. Next provide the reasons why the author believes what you have just claimed he does. Consider no more than one reason per paragraph. So, if you find three reasons, then write at least three paragraphs for this part.
4. In each paragraph, explain each reason simply, clearly, and accurately. Then elaborate a bit on what that means and try to show why or how it supports the main claim, How does this reason help him or her?
5. You must also provide evidence! That is, you must provide textual evidence supporting your claim that the authors in question really has this reason you’re discussing. The best and easiest way to do this is to quote, briefly and accurately, the sentence in which the author actually says the reason, from the passage I provided. Then restate it in your own words, explaining the passage as I described in number 4, just above. Remember, though, the evidence does not speak for itself. You must interpret and explain it. But you also must remain true to the text you’re discussing and the textual evidence will make that happen.
6. Ideally, the reasons you present will indeed be relevant to the main claim you presented (i.e., the answer you claim your author would give to the question(s) above). Don’t provide reasons that are irrelevant or even contrary to the main claim! You are trying to support it, remember. Also note that all of this is reporting what the author said, not what you think.
7. Finally, evaluate what you have just said. The author said it, but is it right? Do ...

Teaching chumash - Using Mefarshim to Analyze Critical Thinking
1. David Schlusselberg
Teaching Chumash – Using Mefarshim to Promote Critical thinking
ParshatKorach - 10th
Grade Girls at Kushner (Middle Track)
“Let’s begin today’s class by reviewing a bit of what we covered in yesterday’s class.” I would spend the
next few minutes asking my students to name the characters involved in the story, and why (based on
the Rashi’s that we did). I would ask them to tell me what argument Korach makes to demonstrate why
he and all his followers are just as holy as Moshe and Aharon.
“For today’s class, we are going to take an in-depth analysis at Moshe’s reaction. At first glance, when
we read the pasuk in a few moments it may seem fairly obvious what is occurring. However, through
the lens of the mefarshim, we are going to see that there are different approaches to what Moshe
actually does, and why Moshe does which he does. I know this sounds a bit cryptic now, but in a few
moments you will understand better. Let’s read pasukdaled. Can I get a volunteer to read for the
class?”
“Good job Sarah. This pasuk seems pretty straight forward. We are now going to look at a few
mefarshim on this pasuk who will be answering different questions that arise from this seemingly
innocent pasuk. First, are there any questions which bother you about this pasuk, or comments you
would like to make?” As the class makes suggestions, I will put their comments on the board, and make
reference to them, when they are in line with a question, or comment that one of the mefarshim make.
“We are going to look at a Rashi, Ramban and Rashbam today. We are going to start with Rashi now. I
am going to ask you to read the Rashi with the person sitting next to you (or I will specifically make pre-
assigned groups). I am going to give out an index card to each group and I want you to write down on it
what Rashi is coming to address. The possibilities are: textual, grammatical, contextual, logical,
moral/religious or philosophical (They will be put up on the board). When you finish reading the Rashi, I
would like you to write the category on the index card, and you will hold it up when I will say so. Okay,
can I get a volunteer to tell the class what we are going to be doing now?... Okay great, so break up into
your groups and please begin reading the Rashi.”
2. “Now that everyone has read the Rashi, can each group please hold up your index card. Does any group
want to share why they wrote what they did?” They will share their thoughts, and we will establish that
it seems Rashi is addressing context. “Why do you think Rashi quoted all those pesukim?” After taking
some suggestions I will point out that it seems Rashi is showing thatthis is the fourth time that he has
had to deal with BneiYisrael acting improper.
[In my actual class that I taught this Rashi, I told the class about the concept of chazakah at this point. I
told them an example about how if I walk into the classroom in the morning and I see a student bought
me an apple I would be pleasantly surprised. If that happened the next day I would once again be
surprised by this infrequent occurrence. However, once this has taken place three or four times (it is a
machloketin the Gemara) I will expect it. I told the class, that Moshe has dealt with their mishaps
multiple times as Rashi has pointed out, however he now realizes that it isn’t just a random occurrence,
but it is now something that seems like it will continue.]
“What do you think motivated Rashi to make this point? I certainly think we could have continued
reading the pesukim and would not have been bothered that Moshe was upset. So what message did
Rashi want to convey, and how does that message fit into Rashi’s overall agenda for the way he explains
pesukim?”
This question was based off the article, where Armon suggests asking the class, “How does this quote
reflect the individual style of the parshan?”
“We are now going to read a Ramban together. We are going to be doing a choral reading,
which means that we are going to read it together as a class. As we learn the Ramban I
want you to think, just as we did by Rashi, what question the Ramban is bothered by. The
options are on the board behind me (textual, grammatical, contextual, logical, moral/religious or
philosophical). I will not ask for you to write it on an index card this time, but I will want to
hear suggestions after we read the Ramban together. Can somebody please inform the
class what we will be doing now?”…
[I now use choral reading in my classes frequently.]
3. “What about the pasuk is bothering the Ramban?... Very good, so we see that he is concerned about the
grammer of the pasuk, specifically about the word . Beside the technical grammatical point the
Ramban mentions, what message about Aharon and his position of being the Kohengadol is conveyed by
this Ramban?” This question was based off the presentation. Since this Ramban is not too long and
complex, I didn’t think it was necessary to cover most of the points that you covered in the presentation,
rather, I picked the most necessary and beneficial ones for the class to help them better understand
what the Ramban is teaching us. “How does this Ramban differ from the Rashi we just saw?” The
article mentioned that it is important to compare and contrast comments given by mefarshim.
Although, I assume she was talking about comments that are addressing the same question, I think it is
important for the class to verbalize that each perushis tackling a different issue in this passuk.
“We are now going to be learning the final perush for today’s lesson – the Rashbam. As we have done
until now, I want you to think about what the Rashbam is addressing in the pasuk. As we have already
seen, different mefarshim have been focusing on different problems. I am going to ask for a volunteer
to read, and then we will decide which question he is addressing. Michelle, can you please tell the class
what we are going to be doing now?...”
“So, can someone please tell the class what type of question the Rashbam is addressing? Very good
Danielle; does anyone have a different answer? There can certainly be various questions that one can
argue he is making. If one said it is a religious point, I think that may be correct. Can anyone tell me
how this can be a religious point? Correct, maybe he is saying that when someone is confronted with an
issue they should daven to Hashem. Where do we see this in the Torah?... Good, we see this by Yaakov,
where he davened before going to see Eisav. Although Rashi and the Rashbam are commenting on the
same words, what unique approach to these words do they each bring that the other does not deal
with?” A student suggests that Rashi is dealing with a much larger scale about why Moshe fell on his
face, while Rashi doesn’t deal with what he did when he fell on his face, while the Rashbam deals with
what Moshe specifically did while falling on his face in this specific instance, and does not touch upon
and overall reason why Moshe fell on his face. “Great answer (I couldn’t have said it better myself )”
“I am going to now hand out a worksheet to be completed for the next five minutes of class. You are to
do the worksheet on your own, but you may use your notes if you need. This worksheet will be
collected at the end of class, so be sure to write neatly. Can someone repeat what we are going to be
doing now?...”
Questions on the worksheet:
Note: Many of these questions were taken by the article, as ways to get them to critically think about
the mefarshim they have learnt.
1. Which perush said the following words: ?
4. 2. Based on question number one, was that perush coming to address a textual, grammatical,
contextual, logical, moral/religious or philosophical question from the pasuk?
3. I would like you to draw a picture demonstrating the Rashbam’s view regarding what the words
mean?
4. Can you articulate the difference between what Rashi was addressing, and what the Rashbam
was suggesting?
5. Why did Rashi need to quote all those pesukim?
6. How did Rashi’s explanation go in line with his general approach of explaining the
peshutoshelmikra?
7. What questions do you still have unanswered?
