Let’s challenge ourselves to a Geography Bee on The Middle East!  This class is part of a series designed to have fun while reviewing human geography facts. This class can serve to introduce students to a new region of the world, or as a review.  This geo bee (#4) focuses on places and things in and near the many splendored Middle East.  Class will begin with a review of 29 terms such as: country names, locations, cultural features, brief descriptors of economics, geographic features. To help students prepare,  handouts are provided that include political  and physical maps of The Middle East plus a list of terms (with definitions) that are covered in our challenge.  Students can practice with the handouts if they want to be more competitive, before class begins. They can locate the example of each land-related term on the Middle East map. We will begin class with a review or introduction of terms and locations, highlighting those that students have questions about.  
Students will participate in a Kahoot challenge that offers a choice of four possible answers to each question, along with a picture clue. Kahoot offers a game show format.  Questions include simple definitions, comparisons of similar terms, application questions and examples. This quiz is designed for students with a basic understanding of the map of The Middle East. During the Kahoot, students will see the correct answer to each question immediately after each answer is tallied, allowing them to reinforce correct understanding.  
After our Kahoot quiz is completed we will review the more challenging terms as time allows.  Our contestants (students) will have approximately four opportunities to work with vocabulary and the map of North Africa and Southwest Asia, reinforcing learning through repetition in a variety of formats.  Students will receive a certificate of accomplishment that recognizes completion of the class and their Kahoot results.
