Each YiddishPOP lesson encompasses three- interconnected sections:
a movie featuring an animated story that uses new vocabulary and
new grammar; the Vokabular which explains the vocabulary of each
movie; and the Gramatik which highlights the new grammar used in
the movie. Each section can be repeated as many times as
necessary. Additionally, each lesson is accompanied by the
following features:
Nokh Protim – explains the grammar points in the lesson.
Verter, Verter, verter – illustrates and drills the new
vocabulary.
Leyen – teaches the alphabet and reading skills. As the lessons
increase in difficulty, Leyen progresses to offer short reading
comprehension exercises.
Shrayb – offers instruction and practice writing the letters and
words introduced in Leyen, leading to guided writing exercises.
Her un zog nokh – allows the student to practice pronouncing words
and phrases from the movie.
Shpil! – is a game that reinforces what has been taught in the
lesson.
Genitungen – is where a student can review what was learned before
taking the quiz.
Du kenst oykh – is a quiz that helps assess the student’s mastery
of the lesson material.
Farn Lerer – This part of the program is aimed at educators and
parents. It provides a conceptual overview of the lesson, a
section delving into the cultural richnesses touched upon by the
lesson itself, and separate guiding materials for teachers with
suggested activities and exercises for use in a classroom. All
these materials appear in both Yiddish and English.
