HWC Day 31 - Map Quiz & Chronology

Objective:   Explain the strength and eventual weaknesses of the Ottoman Empire.  Determine how society, particularly the role of women, has changed throughout the region.  Sort key events and current issues relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Task:   Today, we'll begin class with your map quiz.  Please clear your desks of everything except for a pen or pencil.   You'll have 30 minutes to complete the quiz.  If you finish early, hand in the quiz on the computer cart.  Pick up the worksheet and your computer.  Complete the worksheets packet.  After everyone has finished the quiz, we'll spend some time reviewing the "Chronology and Connections" packet before we move onto the investigations.

Finally, we'll spend the last portion of class investigating the Ottoman Empire, women in Islam, the Arab-Israeli/Israeli-Palestinian issue, and environmental concerns in Central Asia.  After you complete each investigation, make a comment to the appropriate post on the HWC blog.
