GEOGRAPHICAL LANDFORMS SLIDESHOWS:
Each group will receive one of the following geographical landforms or
bodies of water: 2) peninsula, 3) gulf, 4) sea, 5) river, 6) mountain range,
and 7) desert.
Work in your groups to research examples of your landform in the Middle

Identify as many examples of your assigned feature in the Middle East and
North Africa. You should determine an accurate description of the
location of your assigned landform or body of water, including the
country or countries where the geographical feature is found.
You should also indicate why the feature is significant to the Middle East
and North Africa and the impact of that landform or body of water has
had historically and currently.
You will present your information in the form of a “slide show,” made with
supplies from the craft table. At least one slide for each piece of
information, and a cover page for your slide show.

sentences will suffice) explaining your illustration.
Every person should be working to illustrate, write statements,

main religions of the Middle East and North Africa.

THE STORY OF ADAM
You will read each story of Adam, as it is told in the

throughout history.
Additionally many of the religious conflicts have stemmed from
differences between the ethnic groups of the Middle East
The article “Three Religions, One God” Explains some of those
similarities and differences

Topic: Anticipation Statements – Middle East Resources
Reflect on each of the following statements:
• Water has always been an important resource in
the Middle East.
• Historically the British and French controlled oil
reserves in the Middle East.
• The United States is dependent on Middle Eastern
oil.
• Major conflicts in the Middle East are caused by
distribution of water.
Do you believe these statements to be true or false? Explain each
prediction
40
CONCEPT REVIEW…
What do each of the following terms mean or refer to?
exploration, colonization, and imperialism.
All resources are scarce and how the scarcity of any product
increases its price in the marketplace. In terms of oil, the
presence of oil in areas that were desolate became open to
exploration by competing companies, thus impacting oil prices.
Page 581 and 587 of Textbook
What do you notice about the presence of oil?
41
“WHAT ROLE HAVE NATURAL RESOURCES PLAYED IN
POLITICS AND ECONOMY OF THE MIDDLE EAST?”
Read the following article…
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/globalconnections/mideast/questions/res
ource/index.html.
Refer back to your anticipation statements…
What content from the article has either strengthened your prediction
or led you to change your prediction?
42
REGIONAL GROUPS WITHIN THE MIDDLE EAST
AND NORTH AFRICA
Working in your table groups, identify and describe regions within the
Middle East and North Africa defined by cultural characteristics (e.g.,
religion and language) and by natural resources (oil).
Where does each group usually reside, how would you describe the group in
terms of the cultural characteristics or resources that define the group.
Groups: 1) Sunni Islam, 2) Shi’ite Islam, 3) Jewish, 4) Arabic language, 5)
Persian language, 6) Turkish language, 7) Kurdish language
Use the Map to determine your groups location and record what you have
found below the map.

REFLECTING ON GROUP DIVISIONS
Reflect on and answer the following questions in your shoulder pairs:
•
Explain how cultural forces divide peoples and create conflict.
•
•
Explain how cultural forces produce cooperation in regional
associations.
List the most powerful cultural characteristics that divide people.
•
List the most powerful cultural characteristics that unite people.
Explain how cultural factors as well as physical factors can create or
hinder both cooperation and conflict within and between regions.
44
THE REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS/REGIONAL
CONFLICTS
Students should use textbooks, encyclopedias, or the
Internet to complete the Regional
Associations/Regional Conflicts Graphic Organizer.
Solicit responses from students and compare their
findings with the class. Facilitate a class discussion of
the regional associations and conflicts. Some teacher
guidance may be needed. Graphic organizers should
be used as study guides for quizzes and tests.
45
CLOSURE
Write a two paragraph letter to the government of any
Middle Eastern or North African country.
In this letter, students should either condemn or
commend the administration on their role in
preserving natural resources and creating peace
