ACTIVITY 3: COMPARE AND CONTRAST

​

Building off of what students have learned about both defenders and the context in which they worked or are working, have students create a visual representation that answers/addresses the following questions:

​

1. How does YIA’s work intersect with that of RFK? How does Nashashibi’s work intersect with that of RFK? Which parts of RFK’s legacy are present in the work of each of these defenders?

2. Analyze the similarities and differences in the tactics and approaches of YIA and Nashashibi. Why do you think these similarities/differences exist?

3. How would members of the YIA react to the work of Jewell Jones? What would the YIA say about the work that is being done surrounding this issue? How would RFK react to the work of Nashashibi? What would he approve of? What would he disapprove of?

4. How did the activism of the YIA pave the way for present-day defenders such as Rami Nashashibi?

5. What are the similarities and differences between the political/social/economic contexts in which the YIA and Nashashibi worked?

6. Why do you believe this issue is still a problem?
