HWC1.2 Day 24 - Monotheism & Middle East Geography

Objectives:  Navigate the FCP13-1 wiki to facilitate collaborative research.  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 promised, we'll spend the first 15 minutes of class working with on FCP.  We'll start by posting your source to the FCP Diigo group using the project tagging standards.  Then, please double check the team grid - there were a few last minute changes that needed to be made yesterday.  Make sure to finish posting to the wiki discussion threads and comment to handshakes of any new team members.

The next portion of class will be devoted to our notes on the religions of the Middle East.  Finally, we'll end class working in groups to investigate the geography and early history of the Middle East.  Each of you will post at least one response to the appropriate page of the Middle East Geography VoiceThread (embedded below & on the Moodle).
