Middle East & Major Religions

Today we prepared for our essay assignment on the Arab Spring. We will be using a CSE format which was explained and modeled in class. All essays should address 1 of the 2 claims provided. Factual evidence must be provided to support your claim. Be sure to cite your sources at the bottom of your essay in proper formatting.

After starting our essays, we finished our unit on the Middle East by taking notes on the 2 major monotheistic religions from that region. We also examined an excerpt from the Qur'an and completed our day with a Venn diagram to compare/contrast Islam & Judaism.

Remember to complete the review sheet that was handed out in class. We will take our quiz over the Middle East tomorrow and finish our essays.
