We've completed our Geography and Science Handbooks, we've gotten a taste of the world via the Olympics, we've studied the cartography and nature of our own campus. Now its time to put all of our new skills to work!
This week we begin our unit on Water and the Middle East & North Africa! On Monday we kick in off in my favorite way, with maps! On Tuesday we will explore the culture of the region by looking at its people firsthand. On Wednesday will be our unit pretest and Frayer models of the the important facts. Thursday we will look at some of the water issues in the region, both the scientific and cultural conflicts. On Friday we will put that knowledge to work by taking sides and having a simulated UN meeting to debate the issues.
