Prelude to the 20th century. Read me!!! The land that is now Afghanistan has a long history of domination by foreign conquerors and strife among internally warring factions. At the gateway between Asia and Europe, this land was conquered by Darius I of Babylonia circa 500 B.C., and Alexander the Great of Macedonia in 329 B.C., among others. Mahmud of Ghazni, an 11th century conqueror who created an empire from Iran to India, is considered the greatest of Afghanistan’s conquerors. Genghis Khan took over the territory in the 13th century, but it wasn’t until the 1700s that the area was united as a single country. By 1870, after the area had been invaded by various Arab conquerors, Islam had taken root. During the 19th century, Britain, looking to protect its Indian empire from Russia, attempted to annex Afghanistan, resulting in a series of British-Afghan Wars (1838-42, 1878-80, 1919-21). What conclusion can we make from this segment of text? What impacts might this type of "backstory" have on a region and the people living there? Do Next: Putting the pieces together!
1921 The British, beleaguered in the wake of World War I, are defeated in the Third British-Afghan War (1919-21), and Afghanistan becomes an independent nation. Concerned that Afghanistan has fallen behind the rest of the world, Amir Amanullah Khan begins a rigorous campaign of socioeconomic reform. 1926 Amanullah declares Afghanistan a monarchy, rather than an emirate, and proclaims himself king. He launches a series of modernization plans and attempts to limit the power of the Loya Jirga, the National Council. Critics, frustrated by Amanullah’s policies, take up arms in 1928 and by 1929, the king abdicates and leaves the country. 1933 Zahir Shah becomes king. The new king brings a semblance of stability to the country and he rules for the next 40 years. 1934 The United States formally recognizes Afghanistan. 1947 Britain withdraws from India, creating the predominantly Hindu but secular state of India and the Islamic state of Pakistan. The nation of Pakistan includes a long, largely uncontrollable, border with Afghanistan. 1953 The pro-Soviet Gen. Mohammed Daoud Khan, cousin of the king, becomes prime minister and looks to the communist nation for economic and military assistance. He also introduces a number of social reforms including allowing women a more public presence. 1956 Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agrees to help Afghanistan, and the two countries become close allies. 1957 As part of Daoud’s reforms, women are allowed to attend university and enter the workforce.

Creation | Accordion Book
Your accordion book is a document that records your ideas, thoughts, and reflections from Issues and Ethics. You begin in September and add to it each month, finishing in May. Entries to the accordion book will be connected to topics and questions that we study and discuss in class. As with all the writing you encounter in Issues and Ethics, your accordion book should be thought-provoking, insightful, and descriptive in nature. However, this does not mean that it is done solely in the written form; it may include visuals, collages, symbols, etc. In short, the accordion book is a place to sift through your many thoughts about the world around you. Before you begin creating your accordion book, answer the questions:
Next, plan and create the cover of your accordion book using the following thinking routine:
While you may not have all of your colors, symbols, or images permanently connected to your accordion book, you should at least have these components selected by the end to share out with the class before the end of the period. |
