bearshortyReally, students, how do you think that Mesopotamia is in Europe? It always amazes me that even when I give my students a review sheet with a week to practice with all the points on the actual map quiz coming from that review sheet and when they have a historical atlas at home to practice with, and they still manage to mess it up.
I read Lila Ahmed “Becoming an Arab” today – it is about why Egypt became Arab as it traces a long history of colonialism and Zionism and political situation in the Middle East. I think it will be a bit hard for my students but this is college and they need to learn to talk about things relevant to this world.
Teaching went ok today – defining “tipping point” and learning to work with three authors.
