Connecting to Culture and Current Events

On Friday 14th, Nov. we spent the day connecting what we have learned about Islamic civilization to culture and current events. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) Turn in your assignment from last time, The Creation of an Arab Empire.

2) Do some independent research on the group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) and answers the following questions:

- Who are they?
- Where are they located?
- What is their agenda and what are some major recent events connected to this group?
- What are relations between this group and the US?

3) 3) Read the story of Ali Cogia and then complete the worksheet questions when you are finished.
