HWC10.11 Day 24 - Monotheism & Middle East Geography

Objectives:  Compare and contrast key components of monotheistic religions in the Middle East.  Examine the geography and early history of Southwest Asia & North Africa.

Task:  As you come into class, please pick up your computer, log in, and come to the AW80 blog.  Go to "Unit 3 Brainstorm" and post two sticky notes onto the wall.  On your first note, write down what you already know about North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia.  On your second note, identify some things you would like to learn in this unit.  After a discussion of our wall, we'll begin our notes on monotheism. 

Then, we'll spend the remainder of class working in groups to investigate the geography and early history of the Middle East.  Each group will be responsible for posting a response to one page of the VoiceThread (also embedded below homework reminders AND on the Moodle).
