The Ins and Outs of Iraq

by: Kortney Gilbert

I've learned a lot though our research on the country Iraq. I think that Iraq would be a great place to life. I learned so much about their daily life. Her in America we really don’t have a big meal of the day but, in Iraq lunch is there big meal where they have kebab or as we know it beef and vegetables cooked on a skewer and masgouf which is fish cooked on a grill. For lunch I usually just a sandwich and chips. They have bread filled with honey and nuts for dessert after their big meal. Another I learned in their daily life was school. They go to school when are six up till they are in high school. Same in America only half of the kids in Iraq make it to high school because there are too many wars in Iraq and a lot of family move. Another that I learned about Iraq was their sports. Their most popular sport is football but in America it is known as soccer. People play form very young age and join teams. Iraq has never played in their own country because of the wars.Iraq became the first team to make to the World cup without even playing in their own country. Next, I learned about their history. I learned that they had a president elected in 1979 named Saddam Hussein. He was executed for killing over 34,000 Iraqis in 2006. I also learned about Iraq’s independence against the Turkish empire on October 3, 1992. I thought it was really interesting to learn about Iraq and all of its customs. https://www.pinterest.com/jgoldperiod3/kortney-gilbert-period-7-iraq/
