Haiti, by Cliphane

 


Haiti has a very interesting history. There were a million Arawaks when the Europeans arrived. The Arawaks were the first tribe in Haiti. Before 1492, there were more than a million  Arawaks who lived on the island. They were almost all killed by 1600. 


Gaining Independence for Haiti was not easy, it took a lot of work. In 1804, Haiti got independence from France. This means that Haiti was the 1st free country led by African black people.


Today, Haiti is a country with challenges. Some of this is because  Haiti had to pay a  big payment of 150 million francs to France and some more money to America. Haiti was the first country in the world to make slavery illegal. Haiti has a very interesting history.

Jordan: An Ancient Country in the Middle East. By Mohammad A.

  Jordan is a cool country in the Middle East with lots of interesting things to discover. It's officially called the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and its capital city is Amman.  Jordan is surrounded by countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, and Israel. One super awesome place in Jordan is Petra. Imagine a city carved right into pink cliffs – that's Petra! It's like stepping into an ancient adventure movie. We have the Dead Sea but It's not really a sea, it's a super salty lake. People can float on it because the water is so salty! And the mud there is famous for making your skin feel amazing. It's like a natural spa day! In the city of Jerash, there are ancient Roman ruins. You can walk through the old streets and feel like you're in a time machine taking you back to ancient Rome.
