The girls have been learning about the Palestinian and Israeli conflict. They have read 'accounts' from both sides of the conflict, then were divided into two camps - Palestines and Israelis. We had two groups in each camp. They were given 30 minutes yesterday to prepare an argument why they should have the land from the perspectives they were assigned. The assignment was very open-ended. I told them they could present it in any way they saw fit. Three groups designed PowerPoints. One group rewrote the lyrics to "Why Can't We Be Friends" and sang it to the class! So clever and so creative! I loved it!
