In 6th grade we had a unit about Jerusalem. We learned that Jerusalem is the religious and historical epicenter of the world since it is holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians – over one-third of all the people on earth. Jerusalem is as unique as she is special. Beyond her religious and historic significance, Jerusalem is the capital of modern-day Israel and an advanced, dynamic city.
After reading informative texts, practicing dialogues, “visiting” the market and learning the vocabulary, the students designed a street in Jerusalem and presented it in class. It had to combine historic and modern aspects of Jerusalem.
They students worked hard, showed creativity and could express themselves in Hebrew.
