Middle East Primer

Directions

  • Your group has been assigned one of the following categories. You are responsible for creating a brief (2-5 sentence) description of each item in your category.
  • You must also come up with an interesting way to share the information with classmates. Consider creating a handout for them, making a poster complete with pictures and/or a map, or a lively oral presentation.
  • Consider how to divide the work among group members. Perhaps some group members do research, while others create the presentation. Or everyone takes part in all steps. How will you check for accuracy?

    Assessment
    Your project will be assessed on the following criteria:

  • Are your definitions clear, complete, and accurate?
  • Did you present the information in an interesting, clear way from which others could easily learn?
  • Did everyone in the group participate?
