Kortney, I think that your presentation and your information on Iraq was very interesting. Before I read your blog and saw your pinterest board, I did not really know that much about the country you chose. My country is Ethiopia and I thought it was interesting to learn that in Iraq most kids go to school until they are in highschool, because in Ethiopia 15 percent of kids don’t continue to highschool. I also enjoyed learning about Fouad Massoum, Iraq’s leader. In Ethiopia, the leader is Mulatu Teshome. I learned in your presentation that Fouad Massoum’s job is to protect the country from terrorist groups and wars. Also, I enjoyed hearing that Iraq’s most popular sport is football (which is called soccer in America). In Ethiopia, one of the main sports is soccer also. Finally, I want to talk about music, specifically instruments. You stated that one of the main instruments is the Oud, but in Ethiopia, one main instrument is called tsenatsil and it is a type of rattle. Overall, I enjoyed learning about Iraq and seeing how it compares to Ethiopia.
Both your blog and presentation are written really well! I think it's interesting how Fouad Massoum has to protect Iraq from terrorists groups, when my country has never experienced a terrorist attack. I also think the tsenatsil instrument is really cool!
