1. Description of Our Community
Our school is located in Aliaga, in the West of Turkey. Aliaga is a small town with many historical attractions and cultural heritage. It will be a chance for us to show our town’s natural and cultural beauties. There is a story where the name of the town comes from. A story about the name of the district is as follows: The owner of the farm, Ali Aga, commits a crime in Istanbul and is sentenced to death. He was rescued from his punishment by Australian Axeman Edwars (who later became a Muslim and named Kenan). Upon his, Ali Aga leaves his farm to Edwars, provided that he does not change his name. Edwars built a three-story mansion here. His is the first structure of Aliaga. Beginning with his story, we will showcase local sports, games, crafts, foods, flowers and animals.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
Our topic that we have chosen was so broad, therefore it was difficult for us to concentrate on the parts that we searched. Students worked in groups to search for information. It was not easy to find data in English, therefore they translated the information they got. The computer laboratory was generally busy, so they needed to finish their work at home.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
Collaboration makes a perfect work.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
It helped students to collect and sort information, enhance thier understanding and integrating of language. They gained the ability to translate through the writing step. In their IT lesson, they learned how to make coding and it helped them to create webpages. And also, they worked collaboratively with teams.
