       The features:

        Additionally, this is now available in youtube.
        This video can be used for the students in terms of warm- up stage in the lesson, discussions, breaking the boring atmosphere in the class, the students' homework.  For now, I just tried creating a video about my little sparrow.  I chose a memory theme for my video.  I think it needs a bit more time to arrange timeline and  notes on the pictures.

ATATURK THE GREAT LEADER!

Atatürk died at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul 72 years ago. He is the founder of the modern Turkish Republic.  Today, there was a ceremony in memory of Atatürk in my college.  I recognized when I was a child, this ceremony was done with a great sorrow and many people were joining the ceremony.  They were telling poems for Atatürk.   However, as we move away from the day of his death, this ceremonies were shaped in a shorter and different ways.  
I love him very much and I will remember his advices to the youth forever...
