Teach & research
Free printables for the classroom, and Tevn’s own map data for your projects.
For the classroom
- Printable timeline (PDF, A3): the seven eras of Kurdish history, from 10,400 BC to today, with the realms of each.
- Printable map (PDF, A3): Kurdistan as the 1946 Kurdish League map drew it, in its four parts, with its historical sites and cities.
Ideas for a lesson
- Put the realms in order on the timeline, then find their lands on the map.
- Pick a historical site and read its posts: who built it, and when?
- Compare the 1946 map with today’s borders.
- Listen to a dengbêj recording and talk about how history was carried in song.
