Aim: If any, how might the current issues in the
Middle East impact America and its citizens? (Think
in terms of the volatile cultural, political, social,
and economical “climate”).
Do Now:
1. Please take out HW# 6—the current events article and
the analysis for 14.2. Ellie is coming around to check it.
2. Amongst your neighbors, discuss
your article
• Did anyone have a similar story surrounding the Middle
East?
In your notebooks, take note of any common
themes/patterns noticed while discussing the different
articles.
– What were some of the issues discussed (ONE
MIC – please).
In conducting this assignment over the weekend,
you were probably saying to yourselves:
• (%#*#@!!! - Jason! It’s the weekend, man!
Grrr!!!)
• Why should I care about these people and
their issues?
• What does any of this have to do with me
anyway?
– Does everyone feel the same way, or did
someone have a different take?
Think in terms of:
–Humanitarian – caring about your
fellow man.
–College/University in a few years
& the Select Service Act.
–Soon to be taxpayers – whether
you care or not, your tax $$ will be
used for aid, defense,
transportation, etc., all towards
“peacekeeping.”
