Tanya Allegory
In this project, students learn about allegories, and use this knowledge to write an allegory based on the Tanya. Throughout, they will practice typing (or hand-writing a final product), creative writing, peer review, and dialogue grammar. It's a great way to infuse Kodesh ideas in a secular class. This is a student favorite! This unit takes about 1.5-2 weeks, based on how you arrange it. Purchase includes a teacher's guide, student handouts, a rubric, and quiz.
