Introduction
|
By studying other nations and their people
and cultures, we can learn how to better appreciate people who are
different from ourselves.
|
Task
|
Each student will research a particular
country in North Africa or the Middle East. As you complete your research, you will prepare nine slides for a
PowerPoint presentation. Your
nine slides will be combined
with those of your classmates, and one large class presentation will be
made. You will then view the class presentation to learn what your
classmates found in their research.

PowerPoint. Choose the title slide first. Put the name of your country as

Teacher Tips
|
Be sure to read the entire worksheet first
because you won't find the information in the same order as the questions
on the worksheet.
After you have visited one of the resources
above, leave it by clicking on the BACK button until it brings you back to
this webquest.
Be sure to complete all the worksheet before
going into PowerPoint.

Conclusion
|
By understanding that people have backgrounds
quite different from our own, we can hopefully understand why not everyone
acts and behaves just like us. This is important so that we can all learn
to get along with each other.
