CLARIFYING THE MID-EAST MUDDLE

Ignorance about the Middle East is rampant in the US but it might be time to start getting smart. Global Connections makes it easier, with a global perspective for teachers, students and the public seeking to understand.

But there's no understanding today - or tomorrow - without first getting the history, so explore the past 100 years of the multicultural, multi-ethnic region and its complex relationship with its neighbors and the West. A timeline traces events across themes like politics and religion, and teachers get special help via six "connecting questions" linked to activities for students. Communities Respond features case studies from US schools and other local groups showing how others have examined global events in the aftermath of September 11.
