Subject: history in English

Hi, all,

My two cents. . . I once gave a project to a good Yod Aleph 
class about famous/ influential Israelis (or thereabouts) and 
was shocked at the blank stares when I mentioned 
Golda Meir and David Ben-Gurion.? Maybe it's just my school, 
but "history" covers a lot of territory, and I'm sure English 
teachers can help kids learn a little more that isn't necessarily 
covered in the History syllabus, yet can be interesting and 
relevant for everyone.

On a different note, I am also contemplating how to go about 
at least referring to the war in Lebanon; it's hard to ignore, 
especially since the feeling is that between the reservists, 
the bereaved families and the Hizbulla it really isn't over yet.

Linda
