World War I in the Middle East - A Document Analysis and Writing Assignment

This is a community college-level document analysis and writing assignment on World War I's impact on Middle East people. There are 3 groups of short documents, most primary source, on the experiences of Ottoman civilians, the experiences of Ottoman soldiers, and the relationship of the war to the spread of disease (not anything about the Western perspective of negotiations and treaties)! There are writing prompts for a long essay or 3 short ones - forgive the high school teacher terminology of DBQs and mini-Qs, but this is of use to advanced high school classes as well.
