In Iran the life expectancy is about 71.Compared to other middle east countries 71 is a little bit low for life expectancy, but luckaly for Iran not as low as yemen(63), but still not as good as Israel(81). So Irans life expectancy is low or average compared to other middle eastern countries. (Blackbirch Press Photo Bank) Literacy is pretty good in Iran(81 percent of men are literate and 70 percent of women are literate). That might be pretty low compared to America, but when being compared to other middle east countries it is pretty good. Just like in other middle eastern countries more men are literate than women, that is not just Iran more men are literate than women in all of the other middle eastern countries.

Jay! i have noticed that one of your pictures was not really on the page. i would suggest that you get a picture of a graph or chart to be able to understand the population density and stuff. i like how you said how big some of the cities were. === My feedback is for Jay. I think yours are the top paragraphs. I would challenge you to enrich your paragraphs with much more detail then you have. You don't even say the definitions of the demoghraphics you were trying to tell us about. I was confused by the pictures. I didn't really think they were related to anything you were talking about. I would suggest that you take some more time to add detail to your paragraph, make sure all first words in asentence have a capital letter, you have spaces in places nesecery and put your name after your paragraph. I don't think any of your pictures are really effective. You could add pictures that have to do with life expectancy, language and ethnicity. I don't think you delivered the message it was unclear but I think you are approaching the expectations. Your intro doesn't use compass directions. Your paragraphs don't sound smooth because there is little info pertaining to the topic of each paragraph. I don't think all of your paragraphs include a personal observation or opinion on the demoghraphic. I love the concluding sentence though "Move to Iran." (Alec G.-) ===


 * This is feedback for Cam, but since I don't know which paragraphs are Cam/ Jay, this feedback will apply for most of the paragraphs. I noticed that some of your pictures were missing, a picture said missing image, I would advise you to check those images and edit the pictures. I challenge you to edit your spelling and enrich the paragraphs with a little more detail. Most of the paragraphs state all the information but paragraphs like the conclusion could state more numbers you used throughout the paragraphs as well as explaining how it is mostly similar, not just the exceptions. I appreciated the short and quick wording that doesn't over confuse you and is mostly understandable, although, again, you might want to revise your paragraphs for errors and information you might want to add. I don't think some visuals are completely relevant though, besides the missing images, some images don't totally relate to the main subject like the payer in Tehran probably only applies to one religion and doesn't show the complete diversity, as well as the army image, which I don't think totally relates either. You should also re-size some of your image citations and titles, sometimes I thought the topic was the picture title. I think the most effective picture is the last one, which truly relates to Iran's numbers. The pictures that can probably be improved and are a bit confusing is Iran's army and you could defiantly fix the missing images.( Tun-Yiu Cheng) **
