Master Teaching Module

Our Master Teaching Module is divided into two parts:
          1. Curated Teach-In Modules​
          2. Composite Modules​

1. Curated Teach-In Modules

Our Curated Teach-In Modules are a set of informative and educational Teach-Ins with renowned scholars and experts on Palestine. Each Teach-In module comes with a biography of the speaker(s), related academic resources, content overview, discussion and research-based questions, and creative/group projects and activities. Visitors will find two types of Teach-Ins:

1. Foundational Teach-Ins are focused on the most fundamental and basic issues necessary to understand the situation in Gaza including general histories of settler colonialism in Palestine, key narratives commonly used in public discourses, and analysis of recent events in Gaza.
2. Topical/Thematic Teach-Ins explore more specific thematic issues such as the effects of unending war on Gaza's children, or the unique conditions and problems of Palestinian citizens of Israel.​

Segments / Soundbites

For those who would like to integrate pieces of our teach-in module into their own lessons, we have compiled a series of important segments from each teach-in video. We have also created soundbites which are even shorter sections of the segments that are only a few minutes long.

Discussion

For each teach-in module, we have included a list of fruitful and generative discussion questions to help guide student conversations about the topic of each teach-in. Feel free to use them as is or adapt them to your own preferences.

​Collaborative Projects

We have also included ideas for various kinds of collaborative projects and activities to engage students in different ways beyond the format of typical classroom discussions by using their creative faculties.
