The Origins of ISIS (Islamic State)
NEW LEARNING
Open and read the WGS_Reading-ISIS_Unit 8 as a resource to learn more about a terrorist group that is currently spreading terrorism in the Middle East. Use the guiding questions in the article to focus your reading and consider using the highlighter or sticky note icon to annotate answers to those questions.
Guided Practice
Open the WGS_ISIS Analyzing Political Cartoons_Unit 8 handout.
Work with your group members to interpret the political cartoon assigned to your group, using the guiding questions on the cartoon page and the information on page 1 of the handout.
Choose a spokesperson from the group to share ideas with the class focusing on at least one technique used by the artist and the overall message of the cartoon. The spokesperson can point out other details as well when he/she presents to the class.
Independent Practice
Open the WGS_Terrorism in the 20th Century_Unit 8 on six 20th century terrorist groups. Working with your group members, read the selection assigned to your group and answer the four questions at the end of the reading.
You are only reading and answering the questions for the selection assigned to your group.
