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 Arabia and Iraq: Government and Economy:
Overview
In this experience, students learn about the types of governments and economies in the region of the Arabian Peninsula. They examine the role oil plays in the region’s economies. Finally, they consider several solutions to U.S. dependence on foreign oil and make an argument for one solution.
In scene 2 to scene 4, students will work in small groups to explore political and economic features of a specific country and to discuss oil consumption in the United States. This is a discussion-rich experience, so if you need to set ground rules for respectful group work and discussions, do so before the experience begins.
Objectives:
What resource from Arabia or Iraq might you have used to get to school today? Use a word or short phrase to answer the question.
Ask students what form of energy they used in their transportation. Maybe some walk or bike to school, or maybe they rode in an electric vehicle. But many of them likely arrived in vehicles that use gasoline or diesel fuel.
