 * My country Yemen has the lowest urbanization percentage in the Middle East. Yemen isn't very urbanized because it is a very poor country. Most of Yemen is plains and small Arabic towns. Urbanization is the percentage of industrialized areas (cities) in a country. They have a lot of money because they don’t have oil so they have homemade towns and no skyscrapers. Not a lot of people are educated in Yemen and they can’t build cities because they don’t have people smart enough to build giant cities and buildings since most of them are not literate. (AD) **

Ethnicity is a grouping based on a common cultural heritage distinguished by customs, language, nationality and race. Yemen isn’t very ethnically diverse. The main race is mostly Arabic and 5% other races. It also compares to Saudi Arabia and Egypt because they both are mostly Arab and only a small percentage of other. Iran and Iraq have three or more races in their countries so they are very diverse. Israel is mostly Jewish and 18% Arab and Turkey is mostly Turkish with 20% Kurdish. Since the main race is Arabic, the only language is Arabic in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Like the lack of race diversity, the religions in Yemen are mostly Shi’i and all forms of Islam. I noticed that when a country has one main ethnicity, it affects the diversity of languages and the diversity in religion by making it less diverse. AD)

In the Middle East there are many different religions. But Yemen's main religion is Islam and Muslim. Its similare to the Middle East because alot of countrys practice Islim and Muslim.(JA) "Mosque of Muhammad Ali." //Gale Student Resources in Context//.

After reading this wiki and consulting and peer feedback checklist on page 10 i noticed that you dont have a conclusion. It would make you writing better. Yes i think you did a good job delivering you meaasge about Yemen. The picture thats most effective is the literacy one. It shows how most people can read and write.No none of the pictures are confusing. I thought they were all good. ~Julia B

After reading, I noticed that the author does use pictures, font, space, size and colors effectively to deliver his message, but the author is also missing one picture. I would suggest that you could add more words to include more information. I would challenge the writer to add more pictures. The picture for urbanization in Yemen is the most effective because it shows the houses in Yemen and how it is not very urbanized. You could have put in a picture for life expectancy. I was confused about the ethnicity picture because it was just words. The writer did a good job including the demographic definitions for each paragraph. There was accurate data for most of the paragraphs and there are comparisons to other countries in the Middle East. John E.

I appreciate how the author worded his facts in the first paragraph, he said "Yemen's literacy rate has the biggest gap between men and women." I really liked how he gave another great fact to show how low both of the literacy rates between men and women are low. I wanted to know more about the life expectancy from (AD). I would challenge the writer to use more details and back up what they said with factual evidence. I also noticed that the authors did not use the pictures, font spaces, size, and color effectively. The picture that was most effective was probably the picture for urbanization from (AD), this is because it shows some of the very little urbanized land in Yemen. I was confused about the ethnicity picture because it was only words instead of more like a picture. Although, I did enjoy most of the evidence they used to back up what they said. Sean C.
