"Good morning, class," said Steve as the students gathered. "I don't actually have a lecture today. Instead, each of you is going to give a presentation on your nation. Then we'll discuss what you learned, and then you can run away. Sound good? Great. Let's get started."

Evie's presentation (http://bookyeve.livejournal.com/6426.html) addressed all of the major points of the report, and also went on to compare 1917 and 2007 Egypt. "What's interesting to me is that over ninety years, Egypt became and almost wholly different country in some respects. It's still one of the leading nations of the Middle East, and it still has some of the same problems. But while the governments changed a great deal, Egypt itself is still culturally very similar." She looked thoughtful. "And the fact that I am very glad that they'll gain their independence in five years does argue that I am more Egyptian, even if it's European-Egyptian, than I am English."
