HWC Day 25 - Monotheism & Middle East Geography

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

Task:  As you come into class, please get out some blank paper for taking notes.  We'll spend the first portion of class exploring Zoroastrianism as a precursor to the Abrahamic religions.  Then, we'll divide up into groups to investigate the geography and early history of the Middle East.

Geography Stations Procedures:
  1. Read through the questions that apply to your station.  
  2. Divide up the provided sources and work together to answer the questions.
  3. Appoint one group member to post an audio comment to the Middle East Geography VoiceThread. (Each person need to make at least ONE comment to the VoiceThread.)
  4. Review entire VoiceThread to ensure understanding of Middle East geography.  Go to the class blog and reflect on the geography of Southwest Asia and North Africa.
