Included are two weeks lesson plans discussing the European division of the Middle East into separate, semi-autonomous states immediately following the First World War and on the subsequent efforts of the peoples of the region to secure their independence. During this unit, you will complete a country project that will examine how one of the region’s states became independent. This assignment is broken into two steps: the preliminary assignment and the essay assignment. During the first week of this unit, you will complete the preliminary assignment by choosing the country on which you will focus and by producing a brief, annotated bibliography listing the sources that you plan to use and assessing their utility for your paper. During the second week, you will complete a four-to-five-page essay in which you will use the sources listed in your annotated bibliography to explain how the state you have chosen became independent. Students who produce essays of high quality will be invited to share their research on an open-education wiki page designed to provide material for high-school students studying the history of the MIddle East.
