Writing-Intensive Teaching
This document provides information and examples for designing writing-intensive courses, including developing learning objectives, assigning informal and formal writing exercises, and assessing student work. Sample assignments and prompts are given for different disciplines like history, literature, ecology, and psychology. Effective writing assignments are designed to have clear goals and frameworks while allowing student freedom.
GEOG103 Chapter 7 Lecture
This document provides an overview of the Middle East and North Africa region. It discusses the key physical features like arid climate and mountain ranges that influence patterns of settlement and development. Agriculture and herding have traditionally centered around access to water sources. The population is concentrated in northern coastal areas where rainfall allows. Countries like Egypt and Turkey play important connecting roles. Recent events like the Arab Spring uprisings have sparked changes but also instability in some countries like Syria. Natural resources like oil are unevenly distributed and influence development trajectories.

CP - Geography of the Middle East
1. The Middle East is a strategic location as it connects 3 continents and contains 65% of the world's known oil reserves. Water resources in the region both cause conflict, such as countries controlling each other's supplies, and cooperation through shared irrigation projects. 2. Major geographic features like the fertile crescent and Nile River valley dictated settlement patterns and population density, with most people living in fertile areas like Egypt's Nile Delta. 3. Humans have changed the environment through projects like Egypt's Aswan Dam, which controls flooding but removed replenishing soil, and the Suez Canal to transport goods between continents.
Middle East Geography

HONORS - Geography of the Middle East
The document discusses the geography of the Middle East. It notes that the region is strategically located between Europe, Africa and Asia. Water resources like the Tigris, Euphrates and Nile Rivers are important but also cause conflicts over access. Geographic features like deserts dictate where people can live and major cities have formed along rivers and coasts. The Middle East has significant oil resources that the US relies on for about 30% of its imports.
Visual-Intensive Teaching
This document discusses visual-intensive teaching and learning, including using visual elements like images, videos, and formatting in addition to or instead of only text. It provides tips for incorporating visual elements into course instruction, assignments, and assessments, such as including at least one graded visual analysis or project, instruction on discipline-specific visual conventions, and using rubrics to provide feedback on visual work. The document also discusses how to effectively design visual elements to clearly communicate messages and considers factors like contrast, color, and positioning.
Middle East Slides
1. The document outlines various topics related to the history and culture of the Middle East including the rise of early civilizations in Mesopotamia like Sumer, as well as the origins and beliefs of Judaism.
2. It also discusses the expansion of Islam under Muhammad and his successors, and the growth of the Muslim empire and establishment of dynasties like the Umayyads and Abbasids.
3. The document further examines important civilizations and empires that influenced the region such as Assyria and Persia, their military achievements, and technological advances. It also covers cultural developments under Muslim rule including in the fields of art, science, and philosophy.
Geography of the Middle East
The document provides information about the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of Islam. It is located in the northern hemisphere and western hemisphere. The peninsula experiences extreme temperatures and is home to many deserts, including the Nafud, Syrian, and Empty Quarter deserts. Transportation is primarily by camel and horse. Wildlife includes gazelle, lizards, oryx, cats, and hyenas. Vegetation is adapted to the dry, salty conditions and includes date palms and saltbush. Cultural adaptations include clothing, tents that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and religious customs.
Strategies
This document discusses strategies for teaching English and strategies students can use for learning. It defines key terms like cognitive strategies, cues, and metacognition. It explains the basic steps teachers should follow in teaching strategies: describing the strategy, modeling it, providing practice, promoting self-monitoring, and encouraging continued use. However, it notes that strategy instruction is not widely practiced in classrooms currently. It provides examples of strategies students can use like making inferences, asking questions, and using context clues.
Teaching Visual Literacy Skills in a One-Shot Session
Just as one-shot information literacy sessions can be implemented in college classes to improve students’ research capabilities, similarly-styled sessions on image research can increase their visual literacy skills. While most students interact with images daily, capturing photos on their mobile devices, reading picture-heavy articles on websites, and reposting images from social media pages, such activities do not transform them into critical viewers and users of visual media. To be considered visually literate, as defined by the Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education by the Association of College and Research Libraries, an individual must “effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media.”
A wide range of research and critical thinking strategies may be introduced through these instructional sessions. Locating trustworthy sources online, evaluating the content and quality of images, scrutinizing manipulated images, understanding the implications of copyright, and creating an effective system to store digital files and manage citations are among the recommended topics for presentation. Teaching strategies for image research sessions include using live web searches in both scholarly and open access resources to highlight their relative strengths and weaknesses, using real life examples of image use scenarios to provide context, and structuring presentations based around the specific class in which it will be taught. The desired outcome of teaching an instructional session is to provide students with the tools and confidence they need to effectively use high-quality visual materials in their undergraduate years and beyond.
Final Using Peer Tutoring Strategies to Increase Mathematic Achievement
