The document discusses the history and current state of the conflict between Israel and Palestine over land rights in the region. It notes that both groups claim historical and religious ties to the land, and that there have been numerous attempts at negotiations and peace agreements over decades but the core issues of borders, settlements, security, and the status of Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees have remained unresolved. The ongoing disputes over land and political control have led to repeated outbreaks of violence and neither side has been willing to make the compromises needed to reach a final peace agreement.eBrary searching

This document discusses an education project where students worked to save a local beach. It compares this project to more traditional teaching methods. The project took a student-centered approach where students had voice, choice, and participated collaboratively on authentic tasks. In contrast, traditional methods are more teacher-directed where some students participate on isolated facts. This project allowed students to practice skills like critical thinking, analysis, and working in meaningful contexts rather than just memorizing out-of-context learning. It asks teachers to find ways to incorporate relevant content and tools to involve students in a more participative manner.12 summer rdg rev hum 11a
