Program Summary:

Two groups role play the Gilad Shalit compromise.  Afterward there is a discussion about the whole situation.

Full Description:

It starts out with everyone watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUR5HIHkYUs
Tell why they had him stand up (to show that he was physically able).   Why he was holding the newspaper (to prove the date).  Why he talked about one of his memories (to show he is mind was intact)
Then everyone is split into two groups.  Each of them have a bag of candy.  The groups do not know how much candy the other group has.  The group with the larger amount of candy in their bag are the Israelis.  The other group will be Hamas. The Israelis send down one member of their group to act as Gilad.  Hamas has a goal of (x) amount of candy to get from the Israelis.  Hamas then makes a video with "Gilad" to send to the Israelis.  In this video include Hamas's demands (How much candy they want).  That video will then be shown to the Israelis who then make a video with a counter offer.  This keeps going until an agreement is made. When the agreement is made the two groups come together and discuss the Gilad Shalit compromise.  Was it good? Was it bad?  Do you support it?  What were the pros? What were the cons? ect ect.
