Curated Topical/Thematic
​Teaching Modules
Gaza in Context Teach-Ins

Picture
Our Curated Teaching Modules are a set of informative and educational Teach-Ins with renowned scholars and experts on Palestine. Each Curated 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 Curated Teach-In Modules: Foundational Teach-In Modules and Topical/Thematic Teach-Ins

Topical/Thematic Teaching Modules 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.

​Module Elements​


Segments / Soundbites

Picture
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

Picture
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

Picture
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.
