Education

Ages 14 to 17
School subjects
Have a class discussion on Elizabeth's decision to leave Iraq with only one daughter. Students could also respond with a journal entry. Compare women's role in society in North America and in Iraq. What are the differences? Invite a Muslim woman to come in and speak to the class about a woman's role in Iraq (expectations concerning jobs, family, etc.). Do you think that if Reema had been more educated from a young age about her Iraqi culture she would not be so judgemental about certain aspects of it? Before assigning the following project, bring students' attention to this website where a comparison of eastern and western cultures and beliefs are compared. Group students and have them research an eastern culture then present their findings.
