The profile of an individual who is designated a Giraffe or Mitzvah hero-someone, an ordinary person, whose efforts in tikun olam are related to the chapter topic. Based upon the model of the original Giraffe curriculum which uses stories of specific people, many mitzvot will be discussed and students will be encouraged to complete specific activities that relate directly to the mitzvah. The curriculum is presented in a three ring binder that includes the teacher's copy and the student copy. You are given permission to copy the student lessons as needed. The teacher's copy is identical to the students except that the answers and points for discussion are in the margins.
Several chapters utilize clips from secular videos.
Time signatures are included and the videos are readily available at video stores.
