You'll learn a lot more from creating an essay from information youv'e gathered than you'll learn from trying to write an essay of your own that you're trying to keep from sounding too much like what you've just read. And you might as well learn something. I mean, you've got to be in school, might as well make your stay worthwhile.
Starting with a Google search is always a good first step. I typed in "arab revolt" and "1916" and got 26,800 results, the first page of which would give me more than enough ideas for starting the paper. Heck, they'd provide enough info to fill the 8 pages and then some.
Wikipedia.com is also a great place to look for info on most topics. Their opening line about this topic reads as follows: "The Arab Revolt (1916–1918) was initiated by Sherif Hussein ibn Ali with the aim of securing independence from the ruling Ottoman Turks and creating a single unified Arab state spanning from Aleppo in Syria to Aden in Yemen." The post goes on to provide links to other related uprisings and political issues of the same time and region.
If you don't do some reading about it on your own, you're not going to get very far in this or future papers. The sooner you get used to the idea of looking up the information on your own, the sooner you're going to get better at refining your research methods, using the found information to form paper topics, and churning out quality reports and essays. Writing one paper that you honestly work hard on from start to finish will make every subsequent paper 432% easier. Mmm-- more or less... And all those kind of crappy, annoying things like outlines and notes are so much more valuable than you'd think they'd be considering how much boredom they can sometimes cause.
Once you've got some good starting info, which you'll have in less than ten minutes of good internet searching, you'll be in an infinitely improved position for choosing relevant keywords for searches at your school or public library for books and articles to use on the assignment (since I'm assuming you're required to use traditional resources as online sources are still not allowed in many classrooms).
