Map Walk Of The Middle East, Stephen Cory

Migration in Global Context Symposium

All Migration in Global Context participants are welcome to attend the map walk on April 28th as a fitting follow-up event to the series. Come anytime throughout the day to walk on large, laminated tactical pilotage charts, each at a scale of 1:500,000 (eight miles to the inch) and measuring approx. 3½ x 5 feet, so you can gain a better sense of the geographical layout of the Middle East and Mediterranean region. The maps show cities and towns as well as principal roads, railroads, rivers, bodies of water, distinctive landmarks, spot elevations, contours, elevations tints, and stream-drainage patterns.

French Class Level 2:"Migrants In France" Project, Juli A. Douglass-Gillespie

Migration in Global Context Symposium

Being quite fed up with the disconnect between boring, abstract, and out of date so-called “units” in my French textbooks and real life, I decided to attempt to invent my own year-long “unit” based upon the ideas of migrants or immigrants who had come to France.

Since my student …
