What do Egyptian leaders know about the ancient city of Leukaspis? Why do they want to turn the city into an open-air museum? Use facts and examples from the lesson in your answer.

MARINA, Egypt. Today, the city of Marina, Egypt, contains many vacation homes. The nation's rich go to Marina to play on the white beaches of the Mediterranean Sea. But 2,000 years ago, this resort town was the location of a thriving port city. The ancient city was known as Leukaspis or Antiphrae. In the fourth century, it was nearly wiped out by a tsunami. The city remained hidden for 2,000 years. More recently, in September 2010, Egyptian leaders were preparing to put the remains of Leukaspis on display for the public to see.

"Visitors can go to understand how people lived back then, how they built their graves, lived in villas, or traded in the main [square]," said Ahmed Amin. He is a government official. "Everyone's heard of the resort Marina; now they will know the historic Marina."

Constructing a resort town on top of an ancient city might have destroyed the old city's remains. However, Leukaspis was not buried further. Instead, the construction led to its discovery. Engineers began cutting into the sandy coast in 1986. They were preparing to build roads for the new resort. That's when they uncovered ancient tombs and houses. They realized that they had unearthed what was left of a city founded in the second century BCE.

Leaders set aside 200 acres (about 80 hectares) of the region for archaeology. Gradually, a picture of Leukaspis developed through its remains. At one point, the city was part of the Roman Empire. Its advanced layout and construction reflect that. Ancient Leukaspis' tombs, villas, and city streets offer a rare example of a city from this time period.

Leukaspis was a thriving port town. At its height, up to 15,000 people lived there. The city exported grains, livestock, wine, and olives to the rest of the Mediterranean region. Merchants lived in elegant two-story villas set along zigzagging streets. Rainwater collected from roofs ran down special hollowed-out pillars into channels under the floor. These channels led to family water tanks.

The town center was located where the two main streets cross. It was the heart of the city. There, visitors can see the remains of a basilica. This was a hall for public events. It later became a church after Christianity spread across the Roman Empire. A semicircular space lined with benches provided a space for town leaders to discuss business.

Most of Leukaspis' jobs came from the Mediterranean Sea. And from the sea came the city's end. In 365 CE, a major earthquake near the Mediterranean island of Crete set off a tsunami. Leukaspis was largely destroyed. Nearby Alexandria was also destroyed.

In the last few years, the Egyptian government has become more interested in spreading knowledge about the country's Roman period. As a result, officials turned their attention to Leukaspis. In 2005, they asked Polish architect Agnieszka Dobrowlska to return. Dobrowlska had helped unearth Leukaspis in the 1990s. Officials wanted Dobrowlska to work on the project to turn ancient Marina into an open-air museum for tourists.

Dobrowlska felt that the project couldn't have come at a better time. Without interest in the project, ancient Marina might have been destroyed while the resort was being built.

Creating the museum is part of a plan to make Marina more than just a summer place for Egyptians. Officials hope the ruins will attract tourists from many different countries. If they are successful, then officials might create museums for other nearby locations. If that happens, Egypt's ancient history could live on for centuries to come.

Article Title (Relate to the Event): “1800! The year Jefferson became president”

Newspaper (Make Up a Name): The Colorado Times  

Reporter (Your Name): enter name here

Copyeditor (Your Parent or Guardian’s Name): enter name here

Editor (Your Instructor’s Name): enter name here

Date: enter date here

First Step: Hook your reader into wanting to read your article. You could tell a story or use a quote. You might relate the past to modern events or your readers’ lives. Introduce the event and basic facts like people and places. Use at least three to five sentences.

    “I’m a greater believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work the more I have of it.” - Thomas Jefferson. It seems he has used his quote and applied it to becoming president. In 1800, Jefferson was America’s third president. This was all thanks to the people who voted for him.  

 

Second Step: Discuss one reason why the event is so important. Use facts to back up your idea.

The election of 1800 is important because the president, Thomas Jefferson, made visions that would contribute to the farmers. Since federalists were taking advantage of the power, Jefferson wanted to restore the spirit of '76. Some of these visions are Frugal Government, Limited Government, Rights of the People, Agrarian Society, and No Special Ceremony or Display of Power. These visions were helpful, for they reduce the size and budget of the government.

 

Third Step: Discuss a second reason for the event’s importance. Use facts.

The election of 1800 is important because this was the year Thomas Jefferson was elected. He brought great ideas to the table such as his "visions". Jefferson also made smart decisions when it came to the ships with goods being attacked and U.S sailors being kidnapped. Despite the people making illegal trade Jefferson made the right choice so the attacks and kidnaps would stop.  

 

Fourth Step: Discuss a third reason for the event’s importance. Use facts.

The election of 1800 is important because this was an election that had to contest Jefferson and Burr. Being contested means being asked a question or challenge. Since Jefferson won, that means he answered his question where everyone feels like they agreed, and his words and wisdom would suit him being a president.  

Fifth Step: This is where you summarize and review what you wrote.

In conclusion, Jefferson's visions, decisions, and people's trust show the importance of the election in 1800. They can also show you why Jefferson is a great president. His visions reduce the size and budget of the government, Jefferson's decisions made an embargo for the safety of Americans, and with people trusting Thomas he was elected as a president.  

 

Copyeditor’s Suggestions:

Third step: “so the attacks and kidnaps would stop.”

So that the attacks and kidnapping would cease to an end.  

Fourth step: I would have given the definition of “contested” in parenthesis instead of spreading out the meaning in that sentence because it becomes very confusing to the reader.

Fifth step: mixed past and present tense. Also, I believe that “Jefferson's visions, decisions” should be spelled “vision’s, decision’s”

 

Deff revise and make sure you are sticking to either past tense or present tense.  Besides that I think you did a good job.

Islam began with the Prophet Muhammad. Islam means "surrender" and its central idea is a surrendering to the will of God. Its central article of faith is that "There is no god but God and Muhammad is his messenger".

Followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims believe that they are following in the same tradition as the Judeo-Christian figures Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus who they believe were significant prophets before Muhammad.

Islam spread through military conquest, trade, pilgrimage, and missionaries. Arab Muslim forces conquered vast territories and built imperial structures over time.

Answer:

Islam becan in the middle east and spread to branching areas through trade with other countries such as Africa. also spread through the columbian exchange where African slaves brought the Islamic religion to the America's.

Islam has both good and bad influences on the world. Good because its a large religion so its more common and known of, gives people an option if they'd believe in Allah. Bad because many believe if you are a Muslim you are automatically bad or a terrorist. Also the conflicts between the Christian faith. I think that's good :)
