LESSON: Understanding History,
Religion, and Politics in Jerusalem and Beyond
PDF/HMTL
The city of Jerusalem has been the center of controversy for centuries.
Students will engage in research and interactive exercises (including
a role-playing game) to acquire historical knowledge of the conflict between
Israelis and Palestinians in the region, learn how to interpret a conflict
from multiple perspectives, advocate for a point of view, and develop
greater conflict resolution skills. This lesson will also allow teachers
to promote greater tolerance and understanding of 'others.
