Israeli-Palestinian peace-making 1990s

An A-level lesson designed for OCR Y321 in which students will consider the factors influencing the successes and failures of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in the 1990s. Students will use a card sort to put key events into chronological order to gain an understanding of the narrative. From this students will pick out the factors helping and hindering the peace process. The lesson is linked to the essay stem: ‘Zionism was the most important influence on attempts to resolve the Palestinian issue’ and will prepare how the 1990s supports and challenges this statement. Students are also given the opportunity to bring in their existing knowledge to consider how the factors at play in the 1990s were also apparent in the preceeding events so that they begin to draw comparisons and form a synthesis across the period as a whole.
