Process
The transition team, in order to effectively create the pamphlet, presentation, and briefing paper, must follow a series of steps that will allow them to quickly and efficiently complete each phase of their project. Remember, the transition team is only focusing on the history of Islam so stay within the years 600 - 1000 CE.

The transition team must use the following sites to research about the history of Islam. While researching, ensure that you gather information about:
- Geography of the Islamic World

- Major Historical Events (Sunni/Shi'ite Split, Islamic Empire, Spread of Islam)
- Cultural Contributions
The Sites are:
IslamiCity Education
PBS Islam Timeline
Met Museum History of Islam
USC Compendium of Muslim Texts
Minnesota State University History of Islam
Phase 2 - "Dummy's Guide" Pamphlet

- Attractive to the Eye
- Informs reader of History of Islam, Cultural Contributions, Major Historical Events, and the Creation of Islam

Phase 4 - Briefing Paper
The briefing paper is a quick, concise, 500 word document that describes to the President the important information that he needs to know in order to inform the American press of the "Dummy's Guide" project. The President needs to understand the history, cultural contributions, major historical events, and the creation of Islam and how the Pamphlet and PowerPoint will help the American people better understand Islam and its people. This Briefing Paper is essential to help the President explain to the American people why this pamphlet helps Americans understand Islam and how the PowerPoint supports the Pamphlet. |
