Camp David Accords Lesson Plan With Simulation

The Camp David Accords resulted in a peace between Egypt and Israel that lasted 45 years, but failed to achieve the broader effect that Jimmy Carter was aiming for which was peace in the Middle East. With this lesson plan students taking U.S. History at the secondary education level will analyze U.S. international and domestic policies including their advancements and social changes during the Carter administration. Students will evaluate key issues between Egypt and Israel by analyzing the successes and/or failures of the Camp David Accords. Students should be able to identify conflict and change by understanding when there is a conflict between or within societies, and identify change is a result. Students should be able to identify conflict resolution by understanding that societies resolve conflicts through legal procedures, force, and/or compromise.
