  • Join to access all included materials

Topographic, political, and satellite maps establish the world of the Middle East for your class- a land about which they have heard quite a lot, but might not really understand. This presentation would be a good introduction into a unit on the Middle East, or within a world geography unit. Especially pertinent and interesting to your class might be the last slides on Saudi oil fields and their effect on America.
