Technobird is a smart, beautiful and technologic bird. It travels around the Turkey and one day it passes through Birecik. While it passes through the clouds above the Birecik, it strikes to The Birecik Castle but it isn’ t injured. It is impressed by the castle because the Birecik Castle has a very impressive scenery. It sees the River Euphrates( Fırat). Technobird wonders where it is and goes on flying. Suddenly it sees a school and students in the garden. It decides to go to the school and ask some questions about the castle and the river. The students and Dilan teacher are reading their books in the garden, they look above and see the beautiful technobird. They are amazed and be happy to see it. They heard something about the technobird before from their projects’ leader Nida and Aylin teacher. So they welcomes it and starts to talk. Firstly technobird asks about the Castle Birecik and the River Euphrates’ history. One of the students wants to tell their histories and starts to talk:
Dear technobird the Birecik Castle is the only important historical structure in the city. It was built in the time of the Assyrians and was repaired in various periods in the history. It was made of large cut Stones. There are 12 towers on the walls with 30-40 m in height. And the River Euphrates is the largest river in Southwest Asia. It is formed by the confluence of two branches, the Karasu River and the Murat River. It descends between major ranges of the Taurus Mountains. It is used for watering in agriculture and generation of electricity. It has also a lot of fish species.
The other student says‘’ ı want to talk about Kelaynak birds‘’. They are a kind of bird like you. But they aren’ t so beautiful like you. Everybody laughs J Kelaynak bird is a large black bird with its featherless head and neck and a long curved red beak, living in semideserted or rocky habitats such as in the Middle East and north Africa.
