Crisis with Iraq. A Curriculum Unit on America's Choices. Choices for the 21st Century Project.

Intended for teachers, this mini-unit was developed to respond to the immediate, ongoing crisis between the United States and Iraq. The unit should give students at the high school level a context for the news and help them to see the connections between the decisions being made and their significance to broader policy development. It is designed to be used as a 1-to-2 day unit depending on the level of students and length of class period. The unit presents students with a choice of four options for resolving the conflict. Includes a worksheet. (BT)
