Orientalism, by Edward Said

To Start:
We're identifying what we know about the Middle East, and where we got that knowledge on this map.

In Class:

• We're reading the introduction to Orientalism, Edward Said's 1978 book.
• We're watching an interview with Said, and answering these questions.
• If we have time, we're watching:
  • ​Macat's Introduction to Orientalism
  • Orientalism in Disney

To Close:
Turn in your questions!

Coming Up:

• ​Keep practicing naming the countries of the Middle East. (And capitals for a challenge extension!)
• Plan on a quiz next week, rather than this Friday.
