Social Studies Resources and
Lessons from UA
The University of Arizona Center for Middle
Eastern Studies (CMES) has some great free resources for K-14 teachers. Check out the lessons
– over 80 of them – on their website at cmes.
arizona.edu/outreach/lessons. At the top of the
page, you will find links to an index by grade
level, content area, or subject/country. Recently
added is a new one for high school/college
instructors: "Contagion, Quarantines, and Cures
in History: Case Study – the Ottoman Empire."
It uses a read-aloud script to introduce topics in
medical history – and has the students analyze
short primary source documents/visual images –
all in only 2 class periods.
In addition, there are teachers' resources
for teachers to use in their own preparation
or which they can photocopy and hand out
to high school students at cmes.arizona.edu/
node/771. There are resource lists such as an
annotated bibliography of Middle East-themed
youth literature by grade level and type of book
and, for high school world history teachers, a
long list of online materials, organized by AP
themes at cmes.arizona.edu/outreach/resources.
