1. Step 1 | Do Now

Answer the following question in google moderator.

What would you do if your brother, sister, or other family member (that use to share the bedroom with you) came into the room later today and said that you have to make room for them and their stuff or find another place to sleep? Who should get the room? Suppose you got pressured? How could you solve the problem peaceably?

2. Step 2 | Quick Discussion

Sharing? Space/Territory? Freedom? Privacy? What things would be different if Mom or Dad got 

involved? Could this situation be applied to groups in cities and nations?

Step 3 | Video

We are going to learn about the conflict between the Israeli’s and Palestinians. The values clarification was used to introduce the struggle of two historically related groups of people living in the same geographic area and who each believe the land is theirs and struggle to share it. 

Step 3 |
The conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Israelis is a modern phenomenon, which began around the turn of the 20th century. The views of the opposing sides are generally very polarized and many historical events continue to be the subject of argument, which can be very off-putting for anyone who is just beginning to find out about the issues.
