III. ISLAM - GEOGRAPHY OF ARABIAN PENINSULA
A. quickly review design elements of HA, Chapter 7, pp. 72-82
pay attention to titles, sub titles, vocabulary words in boldface, and all images
** teacher-led Cornell-style note of page 72 (what do we learn from 2 paragraphs)
B. Create a FRAME of the design elements ONLY for this chapter
(1) headings -- count how many there are and write them out in one column
(2) key words/vocab in boldface -- again, count how many and space appropriately
in the next column;
(3) images; count out how many and space out titles of each image in 3rd column
(4) maps/charts -- count out how many and space out appropriately in last column;
write out full title of each image
* this is a skimming and scanning activity; without actually reading the entire chapter, you can
are preparing yourself for important ideas about the topic and could actually describe something
of the geography of the Arabian Peninsula.
* students may finish this at home if they have finished their book report; we will continue this on Thursday and move on to the next chapter, as well.
