Description
"The Qadisha valley is one of the most important early Christian monastic settlements in the world. Its monasteries, many of which are of a great age, stand in dramatic positions in a rugged landscape. Nearby are the remains of the great forest of cedars of Lebanon, highly prized in antiquity for the construction of great religious buildings." UNESCO
Format:
- Three-page guide (cover page, map, guided research page, and reflection questions)
- Fillable PDF for digital classroom or for easy printing
- Embedded research link for quick student access
Students will take about 30 minutes to complete the research and reflection questions in this guide.
Suggested teaching methods:
- Allow students to choose from World Heritage sites to research and reflect on in small groups. You can view my other guides in the bundle.
- Have students research and present on sites to peers, then fill out research questions based on their peers’ presentations.
- After presenting on the site, use reflection questions as “do now” questions.
- Use as a lesson plan for a substitute, as students will be able to use the guide independently.
- Use as homework following a different lesson or other UNESCO World Heritage Site research guide.
Desired Student Outcomes:
- Students will learn about the geographic region
- Students will be able to explain the UNESCO World Heritage Site classification.
- Students will be able to articulate why this site is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
