7-D-1+Temperment+Style+Lesson


 * __Temperament Style Lesson Plan__**


 * __Objective:__**

1. Students will be able to explain the events that led up to the Middle East Conflict in Israel. 2. Students will be able to compare and contrast reasons why some countries opposed the creation of Israel and some supported it. 3. Students will be able to explain their reasons for supporting or opposing the creation of Israel.


 * __Time Frame:__** 5 (40-min) class periods.


 * __Procedures:__**

1. Students will be given a timeline of events (dating back to B.C. times, and the settlement of Palestine by the Semites) that led to the creation of Israel in 1948 in the form of a handout. **(Sensing Judging, concrete sequential)** 2. Events on the timeline will be explained in more detail through a power point presentation. Students will be able to take notes on their timeline handout based on the power point presentation. **(Sensing Judging, concrete sequential, tactual, comprehend, auditory, visual)** 3. A list of countries that supported and opposed the creation of Israel will be given to the class on handout. **(Sensing Judging, concrete sequential, compare and contrast)**
 * __Day One:__** (Presentation of background material)

1. Students will be placed in groups of 3-4 students. **(Intuitive Feelers)**. Students will use the internet to research **(Intuitive Thinkers)** what happened immediately upon the decision to create Israel. 2. In addition, they will research and create a list of the wars that have been fought over Israel since 1948 to the present **(Sensing Judging, concrete sequential)**. 3. They will also include creating a map that shows areas where Palestinians currently have control over: West Bank and the Gaza strip **(Tactual, Sensing Perceiving)**
 * __Day Two and Three:__** (Researching)

1. Groups will randomly be selected to represent the countries that opposed the creation of Israel, while others will represent the countries that supported the decision. 2. Groups will need to prepare reasons for each side (supporting/opposing) based on their research **(combining, conceptualizing, Intuitive Feelers, Sensing Perceivers, Intuitive Thinkers**.) 3. This information will be used for the culminating activity, which will be a debate; three groups will represent those in support of Israel, three in opposition. Each group will choose a speaker **(Auditory, Sensing Perceiving)**
 * __Day 4:__** (Preparing for Debate)

1. Each team representative will participate in the debate **(Auditory, Kinesthetic, Sensing Perceiving, Intuitive Feelers, Intuitive Thinkers)**. 2. Teacher will serve as mediator. 3. In the end, students will individual write an essay that will include: a. Explaining which side did the best job in defending their position and why b. Giving their position on why they either oppose or support the 1948 U.N. decision to create Israel for the Jewish people. **(All 5 C’s, Intuitive Feelers)** c. This will be done on their own and handed in as an assignment. d. All required information would be given in the form of a grading rubric. **(Sensing Judging, concrete sequential).**
 * __Day 5:__** (Debate Day)


 * __ESL/LS:__** ESL and LS students will be strategically placed in groups to ensure they are placed with students who posses strong research skills. In addition, many handouts will be given that will serve as visuals and break down the more complicated information.


 * __Explanation of How Each Temperament Style Will be Reached:__**

These students will feel at home by working in cooperative groups. They will also enjoy the open-ended discussions of both sides of the issue.
 * __Intuitive Feelers:__**

This group of students will appreciate the timeline and other handouts that clearly explain the historical events and the essay requirements of the culminating activity. They will also enjoy the research end of it, as they feel comfortable working with factual information.
 * __Sensing Judgers:__**

This group will enjoy the research portion of the unit. They will also enjoy the debates, and the logically presented lecture of Day One.
 * __Intuitive Thinkers:__**


 * __Sensing Perceivers:__**

=
These students will enjoy the competitive challenge of the debate. They will also feel at home “performing” in the debate. The audio-visual portion of Day One (power point and lecture) will also be appreciated by this type of temperament.======
