Yemen-+Nicole&Makayla

Yeman is home to thousands of people. Just like every other country the citizens have a language, life expectancy, ethnicity, religion and literacy. But the country itself has urbanization, oil wealth per capita, population density and gross domestic product. Each of these seperate things are different in some ways compared to the other countries in the Middle East.(NG)

Yeman is a unique country located at the very bottom of the Middle East. There's so many things you could say about it that no other countries have. One thing is their language. Many other countries speak Arabic also. But, some countries main languages are others. The others speak Kurdish, English and Turkik. (MM)

This facinating country has more to it, such as its population. Even though it's not the biggest country, Yeman is still middle range. The population is also middle range in terms of the number of people. There's 23 million people that live there in 203,369 square miles. Also, the population density is 101 people per square mile.(NG)

Yeman has the lowest life expectancy. Your average expected life span is around 61-63 years. The years are low maybe becuase of money problems, economy, or not as much medicine. There's about 18 years between the highest country with life expectancy and Yeman, with the lowest.(NG)

The unique thing about Yeman is it has almost half and half of Sunni and Shi'i.they are different Islamic religions. My observations is maybe this could lead to tension in the country because there's almost equal numbers of each religion. I wonder if both of the religions would disagree and not like eachother because they have such strong religion. No other country in the Middle East has almost an equal amount of 2 religions.(MM)

Literacy means being efficent in reading and writing. This is important to all countries in the Middle East. But for Yeman it doesn't seem like it is because there is a lack of literacy. For women there is about 30% of women that are good readers and writers. Also, for men there is about 70% that are good readers and writers. That is an accomplishment for men because they're over 50% but for women that's under half, which isn't very good. In all the other countries the women's percentage is over 50% except for Yeman.(NG)

Ethnicty is a grouping baced on a common cultural heritage distinguished by costoms language, nationality, or race.The most common ethnicity in Yeman is Arab. Other ethicities make up 1% of the population. Arab makes up about 99% of the country. Its ethicity is very similar to saudi arabia and egypt. most of the countrys have arab as there most common group exept for Isreal Iran and Turkey. If I were to visit Yeman and Iran I would see more of mix of races in Iran compared to Yeman.(MM)

If you didn't no anything about Yeman u do now.All the understanding of the demographic categories well help you know more about the world around you.(MM)

To Nicole---I would suggest that you use a little bit more detail. I noticed that you stated the definition. I liked that it made it very easy to understand. you had good examples of the topics you were writing about. Where are your pictures? (Natalie B.)

I appreciated how the author worded the intro paragraph it made it flow and easy to read. I noticed that some of your paragraphs did not have your opinion at the end of them so make sure you put it in. I would suggest that you beef up your paragraphs by adding some more details. I noticed that you said unique a couple of times throughout the article so you could just look over the paragraphs for repition our spelling or grammatical errors. also i noticed that in your conclusion paragrpah you wrote " u " instead of the actual word " you" so you can go back and fix that. I would challenge the writer to go back in their paper and use a different variety of words so its not the same thing over again. You did a great job on visuals i think the most effective one would be the buildings of Yemen it shows viewers what Yemen looks like. I suggest that you find some pictures for your other paragraphs. You had nice font and size also the colors worked effectively. Although the spacing of your paragraphs got a little confusing. You should look at some spaces in between paragraphs just in case they arent suppose to be there. Other wise you did a great job and you used some great details about Yemen! - Meghan D

I noticed that in every paragraph your spelling of Yemen was incorrect. I would suggest checking over spelling and spelling out the whole word instead of just the letter. I did appreciate that you stated a thought about the religions and made a comparison. I thought that you guys did a good job of ef using your space font size and colors effectively. You really made a point with the pie chart. The picture that was most effective was the pie chart of the religion in YEMEN. The picture that was confusing is the second one after religion it was houses you should have maybe put a religious building. WOLFGANG AKA CJ H

I noticed that there weren't as many pictures as there should have been. Maybe u should go back and find a few more. I would suggest maybe a map or a tribal picture. I thought you did a great job describing Yemen, but as CJ said there were many spelling mistakes you may want to fix. I also noticed that your conclusion sentences on your paragraphs were very plain and maybe you could make them a little more interesting by adding sensory details. Good job but i think it could be improved.- Tyler P
