Dungeons, Dragons, & Separable Prefixes

Inspired by a recent arti­cle in the Forverts about Marnie Manning’s Dun­geons and Drag­ons (Der­fer un drako­nen) char­ac­ter sheets in Yid­dish, this out­put-ori­ent­ed, task-based les­son plan for advanced begin­ners guides stu­dents through a fan­ta­sy-based role-play­ing adven­ture, in the spir­it of a hyper-sim­pli­fied Dun­geons and Drag­ons cam­paign. Along the way, they prac­tice work­ing with sep­a­ra­ble verb pre­fix­es of direc­tion in the present tense, impro­vise short scenes with the con­struc­tion ​“moyre hobn [tsu]”, and hope­ful­ly let sleep­ing drag­ons lie.

The lesson plan and accompanying materials are now up on In geveb.
