Shipping calculated at checkout.

This lesson explores the influence of OPEC and the impact of globalization on the world's oil supply. It examines how reserves in the Persian Gulf region, along with fracking in the United States, affect the price of oil globally. The activities are engaging for students, and the guided 6-E format is easy for you to use! Everything you need is included!

 

Begin with a “Match It” map warm-up to review the Middle East, followed by an introduction to vocabulary and key concepts. Fill-in notes accompany the lesson. A “What If...?” activity explains how the price of oil is determined by the balance of supply and demand. Next, students investigate the positive and negative effects of oil fracking and analyze political cartoons about OPEC. Finally, assess learning with an exit ticket quiz.
