The Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Arizona has assembled an impressive array of lesson plans and educational materials on topics related to the geographies and cultures of the Middle East. Organized in alphabetical order, here educators will find such fascinating guides as "100 Years in Mesopotamia: A Century of Conflict in Iraq, 1914-2014," "Afghanistan Through Youth Literature," and "All Roads Lead to Istanbul: 1550 World's Fair Simulation," among many others. The lesson plans are distinctive for their erudition and their appropriately complex treatment of historical and cultural subjects. Many of them feature PowerPoint presentations, primary sources, or other instructional guides to help lead high school and college students through the lessons.
