Monday we'll review once more for the Middle East Mayhem test on Culture, Economics and Government by taking the practice tests from InspirEd. Partners can study and review for tomorrow's test.
Tuesday We'll take the test: MIDDLE EAST MAYHEM! We can do DEAR today instead of tomorrow since students will finish the test at different rates. Students can finish their Anchor Activity with no penalty today. (It was due last week).
Wednesday It's time to start Middle East History with a lesson about the ancient civilizations in the Middle East-Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians and Persians! First we'll review what we remember about the history from the culture as we review Cornell Notes on History.
Thursday Conflict in the Middle East: Basic Issues! Since there are many conflicts, there are many opinions. We'll look at Muslim vs. Muslim, The Persian Gulf War and US involvement in the Middle East.
Friday Middle East MAP test today. You should know this well since you created a map!
During Jekyll week, you'll learn more about the Arab-Israeli conflict. Today we'll learn about the Ottoman Empire through a play. Historians claim that much of the current conflict in the Middle East began when Britain and its allies carved up the Ottoman Empire after WWI.
