Title: New Arabic Units for Elementary School
Body:
Qatar Foundation International is excited to share four units for elementary Arabic students, developed by the Michigan Arabic Teachers' Council. This set of lessons is for novice-level learners of Arabic in the third to fifth grades. The four units target basic speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills by encouraging students to talk about the world around them.
The units cover everything from simple greetings to the school and family, to weather, the seasons, and sports, to a comparison of the Arab and American diet. An essential question provides a guiding focus to each unit, as do clearly stated standards and objectives. All four units include pre and post assessments, and the variety of exercises, illustrated vocabulary lists, and additional video material will keep students engaged.
The units can be found on Al-Masdar and downloaded for free using the following links:
Unit One: Sharing the World - http://arabicalmasdar.org/resources/michigan-arabic-teachers-council-unit-one/
Unit Two: My Small World - http://arabicalmasdar.org/resources/michigan-arabic-teachers-council-unit-two/
Unit Three: Out of My Small World - http://arabicalmasdar.org/resources/michigan-arabic-teachers-council-unit-three/
Unit Four: Healthy Life - http://arabicalmasdar.org/resources/michigan-arabic-teachers-council-unit-four/

Body:
From http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-journey-of-5000km-begins-with-single.html
Cynthia Wei of Google Maps writes, “Last fall we strapped a Street View camera onto a four-wheel drive pickup truck to begin capturing 360-imagery from rugged Mongolian roads. Since then we’ve also gone off-road to capture images of the country’s most beautiful places with Ariuntuul, our Mongolian Trekker operator, who carried the 18-kg Street View Trekker into the wild expanses of Mongolia’s diverse countryside.”
Learn more about the project and how you and your students can experience Mongolia virtually in the full blog post: http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-journey-of-5000km-begins-with-single.html
