Teaching the History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict Using Primary Sources
The Arab-Israeli conflict is in the news every day, and understanding it is critical to being a global citizen. Using a historical approach with an emphasis on primary sources (documents such as letters, treaties, agreements, as well as news reports), this session connects the history of the conflict to the current situation. This interactive session will give teachers the opportunity to learn both content that is relevant to today’s students as global citizens and pedagogical strategies that incorporate the latest research in helping students work with a manageable set of diverse primary sources in a variety of formats.
