DO YOU KNOW?

Book Titles Project
For the past two years, GKV Cemil Alevli students have been reading
literature in English and Turkish. We believe it is necessary for
international-mindedness to read fiction from writers around the world
and discuss and write about the issues and themes those books present. In
addition, reading original books, rather than simplified versions, has
challenged the students to improve their reading and language skills much
faster than they ever have before.
The students wanted a way to celebrate all of the books they have read or
will read in the coming year, as well as to bring awareness of literature to
the rest of the students and teachers, they decided to display the books in
a creative way. They scanned the book spines and had them made into
adhesive stickers which they then applied to the stair risers leading up to
the 4th floor.

1)It is believed by some scientists
and scholars that Turkey was the
landing place of Noah’s ark. The
story of mass flooding on earth
appears in the Christian bible and
the specific location that Noah
landed the ark has been
determined as Mount Ararat.
2)The capital of Turkey is Ankara.
Many people believe it to
be Istanbul however the capital
was moved from Istanbul to
Ankara after the Turkish war of
independence in 1921-1923.

FUN FACT!
The national language of Turkey is Turkish. The language has base words to which affixes
and suffixes are added. This makes the words longer and longer.
