How do you think Egypt looks like today? Is it the same as 5000 years before? what will you see when you visit today? Countries specially when it has long history and great civilization always attract people from all over the world to see how was it before? and how it looks like today? we need to student to let the world know and learn for himself what his country is all about.We expect the student to give a full picture of his home town Port Said, how was it created? and how did it? the most important events and most interesting moments that this town lived, the traditions of peoples who lived and from where did they gain it, the students will show the world the kind of folklore music and dances people enjoy.

Team Collaboration

We don't have internet at the school so we use the school library while we are at school to search and decide which points need more search at home, one of us toke her mother and go around the city to take pictures by her cell phone. Other parent toke us to a public library. English is not our first language so we asked a cousin to help us in reviewing the translation that we wrote. When one of us is sick the others toke responsibility of the work.We used to make meetings on our homes to discuss our planes and review our work.

Eman is reading one who used to go to the library, her mother toke most of the pictures in the project. Omneya is the one who loved to read articles online. Aya loved to find ancient pictures about Port Said online. Only 2 of us have internet connection so we gathered at their home to work on our project.

Team Diversity

We were so happy when we know that we will participate in the Narrative Competition, we live in the same city Port Said but we are not in the same class, our fathers have different jobs, one is a teacher, the other works for the custom house and the third one is an employee, we also have different interests one of us like to read the second like to go on trips, the third like to be involved in various activities.
