Ways to teach about the uprisings in the Middle East



The writers of this blog post offer suggestions and starting points for teaching students about the upheaval in the Middle East. Students can start by exploring how Twitter is being used to disseminate information about protests in numerous Middle Eastern countries, and then can compare Twitter feeds with what is being reported in the press. In a follow-up activity, students can be split into groups to discuss the protests and answer the questions: who, what, where, when, why and how. NYTimes.com/The Learning Network blog
