CPWC Day 24 - Introduction to North Africa, Southwest Asia, Transcaucasia, & Central Asia

Objective:  Identify the geographic and cultural characteristics that define the Arab World.  Describe the similarities and differences of the monotheistic religions.

Task:  Good morning!  When you arrive to class, please download the "Nile River" worksheet and work on it while I check your homework.  After we review the worksheet, we'll split into groups to "read" the music video below.  Specifically, we'll examine the words and visuals for insight into the contemporary Middle East.  Finally, for the last portion of class, you'll use the close reading strategies below to read "Heirs of Abraham:"
  1. Highlight key ideas
  2. Circle vocabulary terms
  3. Write a ? next to any points that you don't understand
  4. Put a star and an explanation next to any points that connect to previous learning
After you've finished the close reading activity, you may work with another student who has completed the reading to fill in the Venn diagram.  Yy

If you finish your work early, please use the extra time to work on your unit 3 homework.
