Abstract

"The Perspectives Method" was developed and taught successfully as a semester long history elective for upper-level students at Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School in Michigan, but it could easily be adapted as a unit in a Global Studies or Modern History course at both the secondary and college levels. Despite the challenges, which we will address here, it is imperative that history departments in American secondary schools and colleges somehow include Middle East studies in their curriculum. Although students today are coming to adulthood during the "Age of Terror," they possess little understanding of the ideas and events involving the Middle East and its relationship with the United States.
