Eamon's Final Thoughts on Peace Summit

I really liked this unit. I wish it could keep going. I was one of the experts who read Understanding the Holy Land, and I really enjoyed the talk that Harris Zafar and Lee Gordon gave. I had a lot of fun with all the role plays, especially the one where the Israelis were on the inside of the tables and they moved around. I also really enjoyed Habibi and Promises. My character was Mahmoud. I am also pretty pro-Palestinian, so I agreed with many of his ideas. Overall, I thought this was the best unit in English this year by far.

These are pictures of Harris Zafar
and some Hand in Hand School School students.

  2. I really liked this unit because we could express our feelings about world problems.

  4. I also liked it when we went around the table and talked about peace. In my group, purple, I was Moishe and so was Jasper. We had a pretty heated and intense argument with yelling in character against Noah and Dan, playing Mahmoud.

  5. I like how you put in pictures. I learned that pro-Palestinian means you favor the Palestinians.
