Mr.Schick is being a TV announcer once again.

     Today was out being a TV announcer in the play. We had two substitute teachers today. We had Mr. Paaby and Mr. Huber. We looked at a powerpoint on modern day Egypt and learned some new things. I learned that Egypts economy revolves around oil and natural gas manufacturing. They also have a small agriculture portion since only 3% of their land is farmable. They grow rice corn and beans. They also built a dam to control flooding of the Nile. They have a national flag that is red black and white. They speak mainly arabic but also English and German. Their main religion is muslim but have small traces of Christian Coptic. They have a population of 79 million people. They have bad religious conflicts and are 12th worst for religious violence and 5th worst for religious freedom.Their dam also makes a lot of electricity. Only 3 % of their land is arable and they make good cotton. They have had alliances with the US and Soviet Union. They have had 3 leaders. They also just had a big revolution.
