In
this
lesson,
students
explore
the
roles
of
oil
and
water
in
the
Middle
East,
especially
in
Iraq.
They
use
maps
to
look
at
the
distribution
of
oil
in
the
Middle
East
and
discuss
what
it
means
for
the
different
countries
in
the
region.
They
also
examine
how
water
has
influenced
the
region
historically
and
politically
(for
example,
how
Iraq's
access
to
water
is
limited
to
one
small
part
of
its
border).
