The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for The Middle East: Ongoing Conflict:
Overview In this experience, students name some of the members of the League of Arab States. Then they watch a video about the early years of the state of Israel, examine a timeline, and summarize UN Resolution 242. Next they watch a final video and weigh how cooperation between Israel and Palestine—while difficult for both sides to achieve—might lead to normalized relations between them. Finally they learn about Arab countries that have signed agreements with Israel, and they write a letter from an imaginary teen expressing dreams for the future. Objectives
Considering that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict directly involves about 15 million people and a small territory of land, it occupies a disproportionately large amount of the daily news cycle and foreign policy of various nations around the world. In this experience you will learn about developments in the conflict over recent years.
Objectives
Members of the League of Arab States
The League of Arab States, or Arab League, was founded in May 1945 to improve coordination among its members on matters of common interest, including strong opposition to a Jewish state. At the time of its formation, there were six members: Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. Today, the League has 22 members.
Other than the original six nations, name another state that you predict is a member of the League of Nations today.
The remaining 16 members are: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Kuwait, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
