CPWC Day 29 - Maps & Sectarianism


Objectives:  Assess knowledge and understanding of North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia map.  Examine the reasons for and results of the Sunni-Shia split.

Task:   We'll begin class with the map quiz.  When you've finished with the quiz, you will get out your textbook to read and review for tomorrow's reading quiz.  After all students have completed the quiz, we'll investigate the division of Islam after Muhammad's death by listening to "Partisans of Ali: The Origins of the Shia-Sunni Split."  As we listen, we'll fill out a note sheet and Venn diagram to compare the two branches of Islam.  Then, we'll examine the term "jihad."  Finally, if any time remains, you'll work on the GoogleMap current events.

Homework:
  • TODAY - 2 new current events posts to GoogleMap AND filled out on "Current Events Awareness Check" form by 4:00
  • Wednesday, October 10 - Chapter 23 Reading Quiz (you may use reading notes for quiz)
  • Tuesday, October 16 - Unit 3 Test
