Today I talked about the geographic features of the Arabian Peninsula. Students filled in notes as we discussed the region. I assigned the "build a Ka'Aba" assignment (see below). IT WILL BE DUE ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9. We also watched about 5 minutes of "Empire of Faith."
Your Assignment is to construct a small model of the Ka’aba and the Grand Mosque that surrounds it. Your model should be no larger than a shoe box and must include 3 important elements:
I. A miniature Ka’aba that is shaped like a cube and is black with gold Arabic letters on it.
II. Something to represent the pilgrims (Muslims) who come to the Ka’aba to pray during the Hajj, or other sacred times.
III. The interior wall facings of the Grand Mosque’s courtyard.
There are hundred (if not thousands) of images of the Ka’aba on-line for you to model your Ka’aba after.
