The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Turkey to Afghanistan: Government and Economy:
Overview: In this experience, students examine how major political changes in Afghanistan have affected its government and economy. In small groups, they investigate government, economic conditions, and recent challenges in Iran and Turkey, then share their findings. Finally, students compare the three countries to explain how political and economic pressures can affect governments, economies, foreign relations, and people’s lives in different ways. In scene 3, students will work in small groups. Objectives:
Governments make decisions about laws, public services, the economy, relationships with other countries, and many other parts of life. These parts of a society are connected. A major change in government can affect the economy. Economic problems can create new pressures on a government. Conflict with another country can influence both.
These connections become especially visible when a country experiences a period of major change or pressure. A change in leadership, a conflict, an economic crisis, or public opposition may force governments and societies to respond to new challenges. The effects are rarely limited to only one part of the country.
In this experience, you will examine Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey to investigate how political change and economic conditions can influence government, the economy, foreign relations, and people's lives.
Objectives:
The “City of Screams,” Afghanistan
What is one part of a country that could be affected by a major change in government? Respond in one word. To add multiple ideas separate them with a comma like this: cat, dog.
After students respond, review the patterns that appear in the word cloud. Group related ideas when appropriate, such as economic conditions, laws and institutions, international relationships, and people's daily lives. Use the discussion to establish that changes in government can have effects beyond political leadership. Do not confirm specific cause-and-effect relationships yet. Students will examine evidence from Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey and reconsider these initial ideas later in the experience. Possible follow-up questions include:
