Egypt-+Angie&Rory

__Comment:__This was really good. I would suggest though going back and check for spelling. I noticed how much detail you put in each paragraph especially the intro where you described so much about what Egypt is like. I was very surprised by the amount of people live in Egypt because it doesn't seem like a huge country so I can't imagine what it would be like to live there because it would be so crowded.I thought you did a very __good job__ using visuals, font, space and colors effectively to deliver your message. Your most effective picture was the population picture by far because it just shows how crowded it must really be in Egypt. The only sort of confusing picture was the language picture because I don't really think it related to the language you were talking about.(Christian T.) ===Egypt is a country in Africa, but is considered in the Middle East. It is 386,198 square miles. Its popualtion is 88 million people. It is boreded by the Mederterrainean Sea on the north, east of the Red sea, Lybia is on the west and Sudan is on the south. Egypt has so many advantages and disadvantages. (RF)===

===Language is the vocal sounds and words common to a perticular nation or group of people. Most people in the middle east speak Arabic. In the middle east Arabic is basiclly the only main language. Alot of countries in the middle east speak Arabic. Some oher languages in Egypt are English and French. I think people in Egypt speak so many diffrent types of language because so many diffrent ethnic groups of people visit Egypt and decide to live there.

===Popualtion Density is the average number of people per square mile. Egypt has the largest popualtion in the Middle East. It has about 88 million. Egypt has about 200 people per square mile. The area of egypt is 386,198 square miles which is the 3rd largest in the middle east. (RF)===

===**Religion is a system of bieliefs and worship often involving a code of ethics and a philosophy. Egypts main religion is Islam; Sunni. It is very similar to other countries because it is the main religion in the middle east. Another religion in Egypt is Christianity. But Islam is by far the biggest.

Life expectency is the expected number of years a person is supposed to live. The life expectency in Egypt is 73 years old. In order for people to live up to 73 you need alot of required supplies. Such as, food,GPD,good medical supplies,water, ect. On comparison to other countries in the Middle East such as Yemen whos life expectency is 63.I think that in order for someone to only live up to 63 you must lack many utilites people require. But 73 years old you must have an average amount of supplies people need for a daily life.But another thing that Egpyt is at average level is literacy rate. (AV)

Literacy is the ability to read and write effectivly. The amount of poeple in Egypt that can read and write effectivly is 85% for men and 60% for women. In the Middle East this is an average percentage. But compared to Yemen this is high because in Yemen only 70% of men can write and read and 25% for women. In my opinion this is an average rate for literacy.The Middle East lacts those kind of neccesary requirements.Common literacy rate in North America is much higher because we have a better school system.(AV)

Urbenazation means the amount of a country that is made up of cities. The amount in Egypt is at an average rate for 45%. I think that this means that Egypt has many diversities, so that half of Egypt could be deserts and rainforests and the other half could be full of malls and towns.On comparison Egypt is high because Yemen is only 20% urbenizted. Many countries in the Middle east are about at this level of urbenization and is proble going to go up in the year or 2. (AV)

So over all Egypt has many advantages and disadvantages and also has alot of diversaties and similarities. It is at an average rate for about everything and i believe that it is an amazing country that i would love to visit at one point in my life. And has so many interesting parts to it. (AV)


 * You guys did a very nice job! I noticed that you guys only had 3 pictures, but those went very nicely with the paragraphs you wrote. I remember writing my paragraphs for Egypt, and trying to think of something to say for the opinion part, it was very hard but you did a very nice job! I appreciated how the first paragraph used map terms in stead of left right or up and down. I liked the colors you used because they were very easy to read. The picture i found was most effective was the graph, i wish i had one of those for my paragraphs! Nice job! AB **

After reading this Angie, I noticed that your sentences are pretty complete. I noticed that there were a few gramatical errors but that is OK, and I was surprised by the fact that the life expectancy was very low, at only 63. The text size is very good and easy to read while the color change makes it easy to distinguish who wrote what paragraphs. I liked the picture you put for the religion paragraph because you can see the religion percents very easily. All of your pictures are good. Nice job! (Elsa M)
