PEACE SUMMIT RUBRIC

We will have a “Peace Summit” in our classroom next week. In order to prepare, students will be
assigned a key leader from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Students should, as a homework assignment, carry out research on their assigned leader.
You should have:
1. Background Information (20 pts)
2. Personal history (20 pts)
3. Statements or actions regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict. (20 pts)
4. Picture of your person + title. (30pts)
All on a
5. Poster (10 pts)
Posters should include a photograph of their personality, his or her title (and former title[s] if
applicable), background and biographical information, and a brief description of her or his political views
and values on the Israeli-Palestinian question, with changes over time, quotations, and actions taken
where appropriate.
Be prepared to represent that person on the day of the summit.
