Israel-+Elsa&Allison

Israel is a small country in the middle east, bordered by Jordon to the east, with the Mediterranean Sea to the west and Lebanon to the north. Also, Senigal Peninsula to the south.. 7.1 million people live in Isreal. Isreal is 8,000 square miles. (AG)

Israel's largest ethnicity is Jewish and the other group is Arab. Ethnicity is the grouping of herrieage, coustoms, laungage,nationalites, or race. Isreal ethnicity is alike other countrys because other countrys have Arab. It's diffrent from other countys because only Isreal has Judaism .( AG) "Israel: Ethnic Make-up."

The offical language in isreal is Hebrew. Isreal also speaks Arabic. Language is the vocal sounds commen to a group of people. Isreal is alike other countries because other countries also speak Arabic.(AG)

The life expectency in Isreal is 81 years. Life expectancy is how long people in the country are expected to live. 81 years is a long time compared to other countrys because usally countrys aren't very healthy or wealthy and can't afford to get healthy, so the life expectancy goes down. Isreal has the highest life expectency in the middle east.(AG) I noticed that you did a great job on describing where Israel is but I would like to know more about the size of Israel. I would suggest that you double check the spelling and punctuation because you have just some tiny mistakes in there, like not putting a space between some words. I wanted to know more about Israel's life expectancy in comparison to other countries for example saying if it's the third highest in the middle if it is. You used the graph for ethnicity very well and it really showed that judaism is the dominant ethnicity in Israel however you only had one picture and you were supposed to have one for every paragraph. Great job, your paragraphs were really good!:)<3 -Ida Thank you on this feed back ida it help me fix what i need to fix i hope i did a better job with what i needed to fix Love allison.

Population Density is the average number of people per square mile. 7.1 million people live in Israel and it has 782 people per square mile with 8,473 square miles in all of Israel. It compares to other countries that it has a very low area, but the highest population density of all. Maybe Israel has a high population density because it is a farely well off countryso a lot of people will want to live there, but it has so little space.

The definition of what literacy is is:"The ability to read and write effectively." My country has 98% of men and 95% of women that are literate. Israel has the highest percentage out off all the countries for peopole that are literate. I think that the reason there are so many people that are literate people in Israel may be because they have a godd economy, and/or a good school system. "Literacy in Israel."

Religion is a system of beliefs and worship often involving a code of ethics and philosophy. The primary religion in Israel is Judaism/ Jewish. My country has some people in it who are Islam/Muslim, which is also in every country, so it is similar to other countries. It is also different because the only country with Judaism/Jewish religion in it. Maybe this is because after World War II, Israel is where all of the Jews went. "Major Religions in Israel."

Israel is very unique but it is also alike to other countries in a couple of ways. It is unique since the most percentage is Jew and it is the only country with Jew in it. Hebrew is the official language in Israel and it is the only country where Hebrew is spoken. But people in Israel also speak Arabic, which is spoken in other countries, which makes it alike to other countries. The life expectancy is also unique since it is the highest out of all the countries. Considering these things, Israel seems like a good country to live in.

I noticed some spelling mistakes but the description was really good. All the facts seemed to help me learn about Israel. I was surprised by the percentage of literacy in Israel because I didn't realize it was almost as much as the United States. I appreciate how the author worded the conclusion. It does sound like a good country to live in because people live so long there. - Andrea H.

After recieving peer feedback on my rough draft and wiki, I made the followimng changes.. 1.) I fixed the spelling errors that Andrea pointed out for me. 2.) I went into all of the paragraphs I wrote and improved some of my observations about the topic. 3.) I fixed some gramatical errors I noticed in my paragraphs, such as forgetting to capitalize the I's. From the feedback process, I learned to double (and triple) check what I write because I may notice a lot of errors and things I could improve that I didn't before.  Elsa M
