"We’ve only been in school one week, and our students have already been probing about the situation in Syria. It’s dominated their Twitter feeds and topped the news rundown on their carpool radios. We ended up scrapping our lesson on Friday to explore the facts of the Syrian conflict with the students on iPads."

How do we teach about issues like Syria? What can we do to help students understand the issues? ASIDE has created a post that provides visual information to help students understand this difficult issue. Resources include an animated video that looks at the history of this conflict which "is informative and age-appropriate...{offering} complete cultural timeline and an explanation of Bashar al-Assad's reactions to rebel resistance."
In addition you will find a map that shows where Syrian refugees are located, an infographic from Al Jazeera that looks at which countries support or oppose military intervention, a graphic that explains different types of chemical weapons, resources from PBS and much more.
