Pro-Con: Conflict in the Middle East: Web-Published

One unit of our International Relations course has focused on issues that face the Middle East. In preparation for the visit of a guest speaker (see the posting about "Conflict in Israel") students described and evaluated a host of controversial issues as presented on the site sponsored by pro-con.org.

Pro-con.org reviewed and posted this assignment on their site How Schools are using Pro-con.org. The student worksheet materials are posted as number 117.
