World Geography--The Middle East

We are finishing up our study of the Middle East. This was a much longer study than I had anticipated, but the kids now have a good handle on the locations they hear about in the news.

We used "A Child's Geography: Explore the Holy Land" as the basic text. Following is the supplemental material:

• One Thousand And One Arabian Nights by Geraldine McCaughrean
• Shadow Spinner by Susan Fletcher
• Tales of Persia: Missionary Stories from Islamic Iran by William McElwee Miller
• Families of Egypt (A Families of the World DVD)
