Part 1
Show the Torah Live video on Free Will, "Power of Choice."
Part 2
Ask the class these opening questions:
What do you think free will is?
Why do you think Hashem wanted us to have free will?
How do we understand free will in a world in which Hashem knows the future?
Part 3
Set up the classroom for roundtable discussions: Café Dilemma!
Divide the students into smaller groups. Present each group with a dilemma connected to free will. For example:
A kid you don’t know at all is being bullied and you are afraid if you interfere the bullies will turn on you.
Your best friend wants you to keep a secret but you think she is harming herself and her parents should know.
You didn't get invited to a friend's party. You were extremely upset about it and tomorrow you will be seeing that friend in class. What will you do?
Tip: Have a great lesson plan? We want to hear from you! Send us a message in the chat.
