This week we will kick things off talking about the Ottoman Empire and how the Europeans re-drew the map of the Middle East and screwed everything up for everyone. Next, we will be looking at the foundation of the Modern State of Israel and why it was important that the nation of Israel be created. We will also be talking about several of the conflicts that have happened in the region over the past few decades : Arab-Israeli conflict, Persian Gulf War, U.S. Invasion of Afghanistan, and the U.S. Invasion of Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom).

DUE 9/9/16: Religious Groups Comparison
Pick two religious groups from the Middle East to compare and contrast: Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. The chart on page 12 has the information that you need. Use a Venn diagram or the chart on the back of this paper to organize your thoughts. Write two, 4 sentence paragraphs about these two religious groups. The first paragraph will describe how they are the same or similar. The second paragraph will describe how they are different. Each paragraph will have 1 introduction sentence, and then 3 supporting facts. You may create a rough draft, but the final draft should be written on this page. (Staple a piece of notebook paper to the back if you need to)
