**Project ** This wiki was created for sixth grade social studies students to collaborate on a thematic unit on the ongoing conflict with Iraq after the events of 9/11.

There is only one Social Studies class participating in this project so far. Ms. Maddox's class is serving as a Beta group for this project.

**Project Goal** Students will better appreciate the importance of understanding another person's point of view to solve a conflict, in this case the effects of the Iraq invasion through the lenses of everyday Iraqi citizens. To be more empathetic of the feeling fostered by individuals in Iraq and the Middle East towards America. Students will contrast differences and similarities in their lives and the lives of Iraqis.

**Project Tasks **  In groups, students create mind maps, Wordles, and paragraphs **Project Timeline** Fall Term 2010 **Web 2.0 Technology used** Youtube, Wikis, Blogs, Bubbl.us, Wordle, Voki
