Reviewer Comments:
This resource is one unit in the collection of Seventh Grade Social Studies curriculum. The lessons include objectives, detailed procedures, and useful handouts. Students will participate in a variety of activities that will help them learn about the Persian Gulf War and the War in Iraq. Some of the highlights include a Middle East mapping activity that focuses on the Gulf War, a guided reading on the War in Iraq, and a challenging speech assignment about Iraq. The lessons are geared towards a specific classroom at the middle school level, however, with some modifications much of the curriculum can be easily adapted to any Social Studies classroom at the middle or high school level that is covering World History.Not Rated Yet.

Blank mastery/tracking sheet for unit 7. Students fill in the goals as they are introduced, teacher checks off as they demonstrate mastery. Can also be used as a table of contents at the front of a binder. This resource is part of Unit 7: Middle East and the Social Studies 7 course.
Map handout for lesson 7.1. Students complete one side, leave the other blank, use as a flashcard. The map image here is copyrighted. I think this should be protected fair use, but the map is not under a Creative Commons license. I'd like to get this replaced with an open-licensed map as soon as possible. This resource is part of Unit 7: Middle East and the Social Studies 7 course.
Students read about the second Gulf War (beginning in 2003) and complete a comprehension activity. This resource is part of Unit 7: Middle East and the Social Studies 7 course.
This lesson reviews/reteaches some of the Iraq material covered in lesson 7.2, since students found it difficult. (It includes a very clever analogy involving students from 3 towns, a mean teacher, and a box of cupcakes!) The second part of the lesson moves into the performance task: a speech on Iraq. This resource is part of Unit 7: Middle East and the Social Studies 7 course.
1) Quiz on the Iraq War. 2) Students edit their speeches using an editing checklist. 3. Students "publish" their speeches by writing a final draft. This resource is part of Unit 7: Middle East and the Social Studies 7 course.
