CPWC Day 35 - Islam as a World Religion

Day 4 - Paw 4

Objective:  Evaluate the impact of the Sunni-Shia divide in the development of Middle Eastern history.

Task:   Good afternoon!  As we discussed yesterday, I needed to take a step back and re-evaluate where we are at present.  After careful reflection, I've decided to CANCEL the unit 3 test on Friday.  You've already submitted a good number of graded assignments for this unit and I would rather use that time to address your questions and to clarify the content.  Today, we'll review "Islamic Contributions to Civilization" and then delve into the Sunni-Shia divide.  Specifically, we'll evaluate the whether religion, politics, or economic factors were most responsible for leading to and perpetuating the division.  Finally, we'll examine the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire, including the Armenian Genocide during World War I.

Homework Due Dates:  
  • TODAY - Unit 3 Map Quiz
  • Friday, October 20 - Day 5 PAW
