30th meeting with supervisor of social study

Today we had meeting with social study supervisors, Mr. Imad and Mr. Kamal in order to discuss the summer program as environmental education. Nori, the Japanese teacher who had collaborative learning with UNRWA school now, showed students' work to school supervisors. And they gave him some comments. The followings are some of the supervisor's comments.

1) The geographical map of Syria has drawn by mistake.
2) Some all students consider Palestine as Israel.
3) Some students consider that Palestine is only West bank and Gaza.
4) Some students do not mention about Palestine when they pick up Arabic countries.

Japanese students investigated information about Palestine in the lesson. Some students could not find the country named "Palestine" but “Israel". Therefore they wrote "Israel" not “Palestine" in the place of Palestine. Supervisors pointed it out and recommend making it as educational resources.
It will be very good chance for Japanese students to know more about Palestine. The information on book and internet sometimes shows different from what people think in Arabic countries. Mr. Nori will arrange the lesson based on their comments.
