A Year 4 teacher used this web site as a stimulus to enable her pupils to reflect on important events in their own lives in the light of their learning from Judaism. She told the pupils the story of the Passover and then, using an interactive whiteboard, navigated to the image of the Seder Plate. Pupils were asked what they thought the connection was between the story and the items of food on the plate, what each item of food was, and what it might represent for Jews today. They discussed experiences of crying, laughing, hoping, liberation, being tied down, symbolising new life or having someone make sacrifices on their behalf. Pupils’ ideas were recorded on the whiteboard next to each item using the whiteboard tools. When pupils had commented, the teacher held the cursor over each item to reveal the answer. The teacher provided each pupil with a diagram of a seder plate, and they designed seven symbols for the experiences that relate to their own life and experience.
