Dear ETNI Members,
For a few years now, I have been a participant in a group of Israeli and
Palestinian English teachers who see education as vitally important to
encouraging and accompanying peace in our region.
We meet, talk, argue, listen, learn and give support to each other as human
beings. We get to know each other and, as professional educators, we try to
plan English-teaching classroom activities that may encourage pupils on both
sides of the conflict not to de-humanize the other.
Below is a more detailed description.
Any Israeli English teacher who wishes to find out more should contact the
English group facilitator.

ENGLISH TEACHERS PROMOTE TOLERANCE AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
WHO: Middle East Children Association is a bi-national organization of
educators working on professional dialogue and joint projects in various
directions. Middle East Children Association is a partnership between
Israeli and Palestinian (from the PA) educators committed to a better future
for their students. There are 15 bi-national groups to date: English,
History and Literature, Human Rights, Non-Violence, Civics, Pre-school,
Principals and Students, for example. The work is conducted within
uni-national groups with bi-national meetings held according to
opportunities.
WHAT: The English teachers group is comprised of committed English teachers
who meet once a month in a uni-national format. Last year this group
succeeded in holding three bi-national meetings to work on joint materials
based on literary texts promoting tolerance. The English teachers' project
is to develop lesson plans and units based on literary texts, promoting
tolerance and mutual understanding, for all levels of English instruction.
These materials will then be implemented into classrooms with feedback on
the applications.
WHERE: The Israeli English teachers meet monthly mostly in Jerusalem.
Bi-national meetings take place usually in East Jerusalem, and sometimes
overseas due to technical difficulties of arranging local bi-national
meetings. Our goal is to meet both uni- and bi-nationally in Jerusalem
whenever possible.
WHY: As Educators, the way in which we can contribute to change, is within
our classrooms. We are committed to helping our students develop skills to
critically think, to better listen to one another, to examine and cope with
differences, and to cope with levels of uncertainty. We hope to thus
promote greater tolerance and mutual understanding that can be the basis of
a better, more peaceful future.
HOW: Ora Schnabel is the Israeli facilitator of this group. She is a
veteran teacher, trainer and facilitator who has been working with Middle
East Children Association from its inception of 1996. Together with her
co-facilitator Kowlah Othman from Beit Zafaffa, they coordinate regularly
both the uni- and bi-national objectives and work outline.

Did anyone find out any more information about "irgun ha'kria" that was
posted on ETNI about 2 weeks ago? I wrote to the email mentioned in the
letter, but never got an answer.

The child has a future and a past as well, full of memorable events,
memories, and many hours of the most significant solitary reflections. No
less than we, he remembers and forgets, appreciates and rejects, reasons
logically - and errs when he doesn't know. Thoughtfully he trusts and
doubts.
The child is a foreigner who doesn't know the language, isn't familiar with
the street plan, is ignorant of the laws and customs of the land. At times
he likes to go exploring on his own; when things get rough, he asks for
directions and help. What he needs is a guide who will politely answer his
questions.

For your homework tonight, you will research the historical phenomenon
called free time
The Globe and Mail - December 12, 2003
Coming as it does between parent/teacher interviews and the Christmas
holidays, it may be the handiest hot button the country has at the moment:
Homework. It was pushed here Wednesday with anecdotal tales of
elementary-school children having no time left to play, stories of stressed
teachers and angry parents and one 11-year-old going so far as to say he
"hates weekends" because there's just too much work.

Hi etniers.
I need some help with my Outlook Express. Suddeny all my attachments are
being deleted from my emails - even the ones I had already opened, scanned
and read. I get that yellow line in the attachment line that says the unsafe
attachment was deleted.
This started after I downloaded the Explorer 6 this evening. I also remember
that this happened once before and I don't remember how it was solved.
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Thanks and Shabbat Shalom,
Galia
