Thank you for sharing your ideas on self and place. I think it is interesting that your parents, teachers, and friends are your identity. I also wrote that same idea on my post. You stated that your “room” is your sense of place. I would have loved to read more about that topic. Why do you feel that way? Why your room? Thank you for taking the initiative to work on the next project. I look forward to getting to know you more through this project. Your group Leader: Elizabeth ||

Phase II: Sense of Place Bahadir M, I noticed you changed your picture! I like them very much and appreciate you adding the facts at the bottom of the images. I see that nature is a big part of your sense of place, the picture of the hoodoo shows that perfectly. You also used an image of Istanbul to showcase the "cultural, economical, and financial" center of your country. Overall, I am very impressed with the pictures and look forward to seeing how our travel package turns out! Good Job, Elizabeth



FAİRY CHİMNEYS (NEVŞEHİR-TURKEY)

A **hoodoo** (also called a **tent rock**, **fairy chimney**, and **earth pyramid**) is a tall, thin spire of [|rock] that protrudes from the bottom of an [|arid] [|drainage basin] or [|badland]. Hoodoos consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They typically form within [|sedimentary rock] and volcanic rock formations.[//[|citation needed]//] They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas. In common usage, the difference between hoodoos and [|pinnacles] or [|spires] is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a "[|totem pole]-shaped body." A spire, on the other hand, has a smoother profile or uniform thickness that tapers[//[|clarification needed]//] from the ground upward. Hoodoos range in size from that of an average [|human] to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Hoodoo shapes are affected by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. [|Minerals] deposited within different rock types cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height.

İSTANBUL

Istanbul is a [|megacity], the cultural, economic, and financial center of [|Turkey]. Located in the northwest of the country, it lies on the [|Bosphorus] Strait and encompasses the natural harbour known as the [|Golden Horn]. Extending both on the European ([|Thrace]) and Asian ([|Anatolia]) sides of the Straight, it is the only metropolis in the world situated on two [|continents]. It is a designated [|alpha minus world city]. During its long history, Istanbul has served as the capital of the [|Roman Empire] (330–395), the [|Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire] (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the [|Latin Empire] (1204–1261), and the [|Ottoman Empire] (1453–1922). When the [|Republic of Turkey] was proclaimed on 29 October 1923, [|Ankara], which had previously served as the headquarters of the [|Turkish national movement] during the [|Turkish War of Independence], was chosen as the new Turkish State's capital. Istanbul was named a joint [|European Capital of Culture] for 2010 and the European Capital of Sports for 2012.[|[][|4][|]] Istanbul is currently [|bidding] to host the [|2020 Summer Olympics].[|[][|5][|]] The historic areas of the city were added to the [|UNESCO] [|World Heritage List] in 1985.[|[][|6][|]] The city covers 39 districts of the [|Istanbul province].[|[][|7][|]]
 * Istanbul** ([|Turkish]: //İstanbul//), historically known as [|Byzantium] and [|Constantinople],[|[][|3][|]] is [|the largest city] of [|Turkey]. [|Istanbul metropolitan province (municipality)] had 13.26 million people living in it as of December, 2010,[|[][|2][|]] which is 18% of Turkey's population and the 3rd largest [|metropolitan area] in Europe (including the Asian side of the city) after [|London] and [|Moscow].

Phase III: Identify Local Issue: Bahadir M, Thank you for completing Phase III before the due date, you are very dedicated to this project. I was wondering if you could add just a little more to your ideas. I am left wondering how planting more trees can help with the local issue of drought. I think your major issue is deforestation, which can be solved by planting more trees, but I don't want to put words down that are not true. Thank you for your time, Elizabeth
