A range of activities and information that is engaging for students.
Very informative!
I bought this a while back to use while teaching about the middle east in my seventh grade classroom. This is a nice resource to use - I took a couple of the pages to create bell work activities following lecture days and used a lot of the information and papers as additional resources for students. I used this in a 7th grade classroom and it worked really nicely.
