How are you relating the events in the Middle East to your kids and your course? Are you setting this somehow in the global context with Russia-Tiawan and China-Taiwan?

In New York our world history essays are called Enduring Issues Essays. Students are given five documents and have to determine an enduring issue (conflict, war, power, technology, impact of ideas, human right violations, etc.) that connect any three of the documents. After that they are basically writing a modified version of a DBQ where they use the documents to support their ideas. We were actually worked on one this week in my WHP1750. Since it was the first one, I gave them the topic that they had to write about which was conflict. The conclusion is typically where they include a CCOT component. I was pleased to see that students were actually using current events (Israel - Hamas, Russia - Ukraine, etc.) to expand upon their ideas. Naturally, it's upsetting that there are events that related to the topic, but from a teacher's perspective, I know how important it is for students to be able to related what we're learning about in history to the world they live in today. Thanks for starting this thread Curt.
