Tenth graders learn a defining feature of Hebrew: gender shows up everywhere. Even “you” changes — אתה (ata) to a male, את (at) to a female — and present-tense verbs and adjectives change too: הולך / הולכת (going, m./f.), גדול / גדולה (big, m./f.). They sort forms by gender.
Students will be able to…
אתה or את? How does Hebrew mark masculine vs feminine — even on “you” and verbs?
Project this and sort each Hebrew form into Masculine (זכר) or Feminine (נקבה).
