Dibur Hamaschil Graphic Organizer

This graphic organizer is intended to illustrate to students that Rashi’s goal is to answer a question, not just provide additional, interesting information, and his question is about the text itself. Furthermore, it highlights the point that when the question of Rashi is not explicitly stated, looking at the Dibur Hamaschil, the words of the posuk that Rashi is commenting on, can provide us with clues to which question Rashi is addressing. *Since this graphic organizer is intended to support students’ formal study of Rashi, it only applies in Levels 2 and 3 (grades 3-8).
