Students are introduced to the unit on Islam by completing a "stations" activity. Attached is a 2-page "Islam Stations" worksheet. Divide the class up into 8 tables or "stations" with photocopied packets of information (from textbook, library books, or internet) at each station about each of the following topics: clothing, food, customs, women, art/architecture, writing/Koran, music, and trade. Students move from station to station in approx. 4 minute increments to take bulleted notes and draw a picture for each category.
I found these completely useless and meaningless. There were no activities described and no information presented. If this work page has any meaning at all, it wasn't apparent to me.

I apologize for any confusion as the directions for the "Islam Stations Activity" can be found under "Product Description" for that worksheet on my profile. I'm sorry you missed them, and now I realize that it might be helpful to include directions as a separate sheet upon purchase of that item.
