The Reflection: Israeli and Palestinian Conflict

           

            As a group my fellow group members and I covered the Israeli and Palestinian conflict in the Middle East. We did this by covering the events from the beginning to the end like a timeline. By covering the beginning we researched the conflict from its roots dating back to the 19^th century. After writing about first clashes we then covered the events leading up to the current issues going on in Gaza and the West Bank. Once this was accomplished, for each of the following blog posts we reported on the most recent news at that time on the Israeli and Palestinian conflict since it is an ongoing conflict. We were able to stay caught up and informed with all the recent news of their encounters.

            

           Collectively before every blog we discussed and picked a new topic for the upcoming post. Once this was complete we assigned each other different sub-topics within that category. We were all responsible for at least one paragraph and one section to complete. After all of this we individually researched our topics on reliable sources on the Internet. Afterwards we created our paragraphs with citations and posted them on a group Google document where one person was responsible to format and post the blog.

            

         After completing this project I not only learned more about the ongoing Israeli and Palestinian conflict but I also learned how to work with a group. In regards with the conflict I did not know the long history between the two peoples and how far it extended back. With groups I learned that since there are so many people, you must plan much more ahead of time because not everyone will be free at the same time. Also with so many people comes a lot of different ideas. This can be good or bad because many will argue on which ones to use. This past semester has taught me things in order to stay updated in current events and better group working skills that will benefit me in the future.
