THE MIDDLE EAST UNIT REVIEW
THE MIDDLE EAST
Following is a review of the Middle East. Use this as you would flash cards, do not go through the whole presentation at once!! Go through the first five and learn them, keep going back to the beginning, as you learn them add 2 or 3 new slides and do them three or four times until you are very familiar with the material. I have created the links for you to either go back to the beginning or you can continue through the slides as you learn them. Continue in this manner throughout the presentation. Might take a little time, but you will easily remember the facts with less effort and frustration.
The questions are in black and the answers are in purple.
