Turkey-+Mark&Travis

TURKEY Turkey is a well known country in the Middle East. Its population is 71.8 million people, and its area is 309 sq. miles. It is the upper left hand corner of the region. TG

Language The vocal sounds and words common to a particular nation or group of people is language. People in Turkey speak Turkish, wich is a very common language in the Middle East. It is spoken mainly by Turkish people and Tramian people. Turkish must be fairly easy to learn if more than one country can learn it. TG Religion Religion is a system of beliefs and worship, often involving a code of ethnics and a philosophy. Turkey is very similar in its religious beliefs to other Middle Eastern countries in that most citizens are Muslims. This is the main religion in the middle east, however there are different lands of Islam. The kind of Islam worshiped in Turkey is Sunni Islam. Drawing a conclusion from these facts, it can be assumed that someone spread Islam to the Middle Eastern Countries. TG



Urbanization Urbanization is a percent of a country that is industrialized. Turkey is a very un-urbanized country, with only 59% of it is industrialized. Urbanization percentages greatly vary in the Middle East region. Kuwait is 93.9% urbanized, while Yemen is only 33%. Based on the facts, it is fairly obvious that Turkey is a highly rural country.

Ethnicity //**Ethnicity is a grouping based on a common cultural heritage, distinguished by customs, language, nationalities or race. Turkey's ethnicity is mainly Turk. 80% of Turkey's ethnicity is Turk. The other 20% is Kurd. Turkey is the only country that has the main nationality of Turk. The percents of the nationalities are common. A lot countries have about those percents as nationalities. A couple of other countries have Kurd as minor nationalities. I think that Turkey has common percents.**//

Literacy //**Literacy is the ability to read and write effectively. The percent of men who are literate is 94%. The percent of women who are literate is 80%. Those percents are a little above average to other countries in the Middle East. I think that all of the percents should be 100%. I think that everybody should be able to read and write effectively. That would really stink if you couldn't read or write.**// Population Density //**Population density is the number of people per square mile. Turkey's regular population is 71.8 million people. Turkey's area is 300,947 square miles. Its population per square mile is 231 people. Turkey is overall one of the more populated country in the Middle East. I think that Turkey is one of the more populated countries because Turkey is really big so there's more space for people to live, thus it attracts more immigrants.**//

Conclusion //**Turkey is pretty average when it comes to literacy, GDP per capita, and life expectancy. The literacy rates are 94% and 80%, which are normal. Turkey's GDP per capita is 1200 which is like all others. Finally, Turkey's life expectancy is 74 years which is also really normal. When it comes to religion, 98% of Turkey is Sunni. The other 2% is other. That's the highest percent of a country that is one religion. 59% percent of Turkey is urbanized, and that's the 4th lowest urbanized country in the Middle East. When it comes to population, it is one of the most populated country in the middle east. Turk is the main ethnicity in Turkey. It's the only country with Turk as the main ethnicity. Turkey is the only country with the main language as Turkish. Thats all about Turkey.**//

// **Dear Travis and Mark,** // //** GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The introduction was good but a little short. I would have liked to know more about if you had a personal opinion about Turkey, (it's unique....). I really liked your opinion in the language paragraph, it's a good possibility. I also enjoyed the great detail in the religion paragraph. But in urbanization you had a spelling error, you missed the "ly" in "only", if that's what you were going for in the 2nd sentence before 59%. If not then rewording it would be a good idea to make it more clear. Also in urbanization I really liked your comparison between Kuwait and Yemen. I really understood why your picture for religion was there and I really enjoyed how it showed a mosque, it is your most effective picture! I noticed that the picture for ethnicity was a little confusing and I wasn't sure why it was there. But in your paragraph for ethnicity you misspelled nationality, nationalities, and common wrong. In literacy you misspelled ability, effectively, and missed the apostrophe in couldn't. In literacy I really liked your opinion but you missed the last period for the last sentence and I think you meant to say "It's population" instead of "it population". Finally your wrap up in your conclusion was perfect, going back over everything was a nice touch, but you misspelled: Turkey, like, added an extra "r" in (another Turkey) Turkey, missed the apostrophe in "that's" and missed the second "d" in "Middle East". There was also one piece of information that was confusing: in the Urbanization paragraph you said Turkey was 59% urbanized but in the conclusion you said it was 58% urbanized. If you could fix that to the proper percent it would be great! I would challenge the writers to add more detail in some of the paragraphs though. You guys use visuals, font, spacing, size, and colors effectively to deliver your message and it is very clear what you are trying to say. Other than those minor edits this was a great wiki just add those things and it willl reach it's full potential.:) Great job! (Siobhan D.) **//
