Teaching About the War
From Rethinking Schools Online
As U.S. involvement with Iraq continues to unfold, Rethinking
Schools Online presents a special collection of articles and resources
for teachers. Teaching About the War includes materials
that focus specifically on Iraq and the unfolding situation between
Iraq and the United States, as well as articles that address the
more general issues of armed conflict and society's priorities.
Rethinking Schools is a nationally prominent publisher of educational
materials, with subscribers in all 50 states, all 10 Canadian
provinces and many other countries. It remains firmly committed
to equity and to the vision that public education is central to
the creation of a humane, caring, multiracial democracy. While
writing for a broad audience, Rethinking Schools emphasizes problems
facing urban schools, particularly issues of race.
Teaching About the War resources include:
Lesson plans and teaching ideas created by
the editors of Rethinking Schools, as well as materials created
by other teachers around the country who are trying to come to
grips with the issues raised by the war.
Suggested readings for teachers and students
with links to background readings – many of which are suitable
for use with students – from the Rethinking Schools archives
and other sources.
Background documents and related materials featuring
links to source materials such as the complete text of United
Nations resolutions.
Maps and geography activities to download, copy and drag-and-drop
on the computer.
Resources for teachers.
Links about the war.
