First we listened to an NPR broadcast on the Sykes-Picot agreement that broke up the Ottoman Empire after World War I. Next, we reviewed chapter 23 sections 1 and 2. Dylan took the corresponding quiz and did very well. Next we went over sections 3 and 4 on the histories of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc. Next week Dylan will take the corresponding quiz and the entire chapter test.
