الدَّرْسُ الْأَوَّلُ: فِي قَرْيَتِنَا عُرْسٌ.

Lesson One: There is a wedding in our village.

نَسْتَمِعُ لِنَصٍّ (الْعُرْسُ الْفِلَسْطِينِيُّ):

We listen to a text (The Palestinian Wedding):

نُجِيبُ شَفَوِيًّا:

We answer orally:

مَا الْمَقْصُودُ بِالرَّبِيعِ الْآخَرِ الَّذِي دَخَلَتْ فِيهِ الْقَرْيَةُ؟

What is meant by the 'other spring' the village has entered?

عَلَى مَاذَا يَتَدَرَّبُ مُعَاذٌ وَأَصْدِقَاؤُهُ؟

What are Mu'ath and his friends training for?

بِمَ يُزَيِّنُ الشَّبَابُ الْقَرْيَةَ فِي الْأَعْرَاسِ؟

How do the young men decorate the village for weddings?

مَاذَا سَأَلَ مُعَاذٌ وَالِدَهُ؟

What did Mu'ath ask his father?

تَذَكَّرْ عَادَاتِ النَّاسِ فِي الْأَعْرَاسِ، مِنْ حَيْثُ:

Recall wedding customs regarding:

أ تَقْدِيمُ الطَّعَامِ لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ.

A. Serving food to guests.

ب إِحْضَارُ الْعَرُوسِ.

B. Bringing the bride.

كَيْفَ نَتَصَرَّفُ إِذَا زَادَ الطَّعَامُ فِي الْأَعْرَاسِ؟

How should we handle leftover food at weddings?
