The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Turkey to Afghanistan: Government and Economy:
In this experience, students explore the recent history of Afghanistan and its implication on the country’s government and economy. Then, in small groups, they research similar information on Iran and Turkey and present it to one another. Finally, students research the most recent government crisis in Turkey and write a news report explaining it and comparing it with government crises in Iran and Afghanistan. In scene 3, students will work in small groups. Objectives:
If you ever read or listen to the news from around the world, you likely hear the countries of Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkey mentioned. In this experience, you will explore some of the important recent events in those countries. You’ll also think about how those events are related to their current government, economy, and relationships with other countries.
Objectives:
What comes to mind when you think about the word “Taliban”? In a word or short phrase, share an idea with your classmates.
Discuss student responses together. This is an important diagnostic point for you to determine what your students know and don’t know. You might extend the conversation by asking “How does the Taliban relate to 9/11 and Al Qaeda?”
