Students spent about 15 minutes completing their Middle East maps. We then discussed the history described in Chapter 23.1 I led them through the highpoints of the text. We also discussed current events in Aleppo and Mosul, located them on our maps and watched a little news coverage about events there.

Today we began our study of Chapter 23. Students had 15 minutes at the beginning of class to finish the Geoquest: Europe assignment we started Monday or read in their textbook. Then we discussed the three Abrahamic Faiths, followed by the five Pillars of Islam. Students had be few minutes to begin completing political and physical maps of the Middle East.
One of our students presented information from their trip to Maui over Thanksgiving Break. Thank you for teaching the class!
We used a GeoQuest handout to review things we've learned this year: determining absolute location and remembering things to see and do in various European cities. We will finish this assignment in class this week. Our next unit of study is the Middle East. Read and study Chapter 23 this week. |
