World Culters

When will they get along? In World Cultures the 6th graders are learning about Palestinian (Arab, Muslim) and Israeli (Jewish) conflict. Before this, I didn't even know there was a country called Israel, much less a city called Jerusalem. It started 1,000s of years ago when the Jews got kicked out by the Romans so the Arabs moved in and lived there for 1,000s of years but when the Jew came back about 60 years ago and told them to leave, the Arabs didn't want to leave so a war broke out and there is now a strong cultural hate between them. We are watching a documentary on it called "Promises". So far in this class, we have learned about different land forms, the names of the 7 continents and names of the 5 oceans. I just finished my World Cultures project on the 12 Keys of Culture. The 12 Keys of Culture are the 12 categories that define some one's culture easily. This is a great class and I love it.
