    This OPEC lesson explores oil and OPEC, globalization, and the impact of global oil supply on energy prices. Students examine how reserves in the Persian Gulf region, fracking in the United States, and OPEC decisions affect the global price of oil. Use it as an OPEC activity, OPEC investigation, or OPEC and the Middle East lesson that connects energy, drilling, fracking, and globalization. The guided 6-E format is easy for you to use, and 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 controlled by 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.
