CHAPTER 23 MIDDLE EAST
OBJECTIVE: Students will examine the map of the Middle East and a series of visuals/images that illustrate the variations of the region. Students will examine the variety of groups that populate the Middle East. Students will learn how the story of Near East antiquity has been influenced by the outsiders who, peering in, tell it through the soft bias of their own culture and cultural perceptions of the Middle East. Modern students are subject to the same soft influences that affected the historical record and this lesson seeks to help students develop greater savvy in identifying biased sources.
RATIONALE: Students need to understand all the factors that developed the modern day Middle East we know today
EVIDENCE: By listing and understanding factors which led to Modern Day Middle East Political climate, students will demonstrate an enlightened knowledge about race, ethnicity, culture, ingenuity, and luck.
