Pirandello's Website is online. The Israeli students have
written three dilemma questions inspired by the story "Shoes"
and the Italian students have written three dilemma
questions inspired by the story "When you realize". Now they
will answer them and will post their messages on their
forums.
Questions
from Israel:
1 ) In case of a
traumatic event in a family's history, like the one in the
story, should the incident be suppressed and denied or
should it be recalled and dealt with?
2) How should we deal with a national trauma from our past?
Should we forget but not forgive? Should we forget and
forgive? Or should we remember and not forgive?
3) What way
should be chosen to commemorate the Holocaust and to pass
the heritage on to the coming generations?
Questions
from Italy:
1) Can the war
be justified by a nation in case of a right cause? In other
words can the idea of “fair war” be accepted?
2) Does is make
sense for a young boy or girl to die in war?
3) In the 2006
world is war still to be considered inevitable to resolve
contrasts in some parts of the world?

the Italian class is building up the site, that will deal Pirandello's life, historical background, Pirandello and humour, along with some specific topics about "Quando Si
Comprende". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

story in Italian and the Italian story in English . The Israeli class had a lecture given by the cinematography teacher and saw some fragments from the movie
"Kaos". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 2005 :
The two classes have decided to abandon the analysis of "La nuvola di smog"(The smog
cloud) by Italo Calvino because of his excessive length with respect to the short novel
"Shoes" to dedicate themselves to "Quando Si Comprende" by Luigi
Pirandello, a much shorter story. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the stories chosen by the two classes: La
nuvola di smog (The smog cloud) by Italo Calvino

the students will get to know each other and to learn about
each other's culture, and also start learning their own
stories
January - February: the students will finish learning both
stories and will also finalize the internet sites.
March-April: the students will carry on dilemmas in forums.
May –June: the students will be engaged in summing up
activities which will be defined later. All along they
are going to get enrichment activities such as: a visit to
the Italian Embassy in Israel and to the Israeli Embassy in
Italy, A meeting with the writer in Israel, a meeting about
the writer in Italy, 1-2 lectures about Italy, Rome and the
Italian culture, 1-2 lectures about Israel, tel-Aviv and the
