Abstract | Most global studies programs focus either on the study of geographical areas or on global issues that transcend national boundaries. Unfortunately, most U.S. social studies teachers were trained to teach U.S. history or western civilization and have little background in the concepts and issues of global and international education. Studies have shown that the average person does not understand international conflicts. This resource guide is intended to supplement 60-second sound bites and provide teachers and students with information about the U.S. conflict with Iraq. Its readings, maps, and other activities present multiple perspectives and have been designed to serve as springboards for discussion in the classroom. The guide begins with background information on Iraq, delineating geography, people, history, government, political conditions, economy, trade, agriculture, and foreign relations. It provides activities (Crisis with Iraq; What Is Propaganda?), readings, a map activity, student forum, 12 discussion questions, selected resources on Iraq, and an Iraq historical timeline. (BT) |
