Camden+M.

Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?

I enjoy Playing sports and Playing videogames. i am really into football and call of duty. I am also good at Re-programing computers
 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

I like the Raleigh Area because it is very layed back and peaceful, the cops do a good job keeping the peace. I like places like Raleigh because i was raised in a Peaceful enviorment
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

It Lets me enable my culture to the project and enviorment in which i live in that other kids can relate to.
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

I can bring culture, Conversation and fun to the project. This is helpful for kids learning about american life.
 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?


 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it?

Overcrouded schools and gang violence. there is graffiti everywhere and theres like 2000 kids at a 1000 student school


 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them?

Gang violence in Schools is a big problem, we need metal detectors and more poice patrols to crack down on violent gang activities.

Interesting thoughts for phase I, Camden. I think you make a good point about overpopulation in schools. We are talking about overpopulation in India in class right now and you can definitely relate to that (while not nearly as much) because of our crowded school. - Mr. Gore

Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:





Use these questions to help you determine which picture(s) shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you. Yes, because it shows and tells americas history as a nation. The pilgram festival in down town raleigh tells how and why america was found
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has? Yes, because in my downtown raleigh picture, it shows many building and one being worked on plus very many cars that shows a stable economy, and the car shows the dinfrence in style that makes everyone dinfrent that can promote peace
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has? Yes because it if it shows everyone getting along, it can again, promote peace.
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)


 * I think that the car shows individual taste and style of a person that helps keep our community beutiful while the down town raleigh picture shows a stable economy and by showing all the tall buildings and the new building being built, (middle left) to show a expanding, economic strong, town.**

I see that you answered these questions, but there are no explanations and no picture associated with it. Please include more detail and a picture. - Mr. Gore

Hi Camden! I like the pictures you've chosen, but would like to see you talk a little more about the car picture. Why does that picture represent Raleigh? Does it belong to someone there? Why does the expression of "individual taste and style" represent something about Raleigh that you like? Great work - keep it up. - Carina C.

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? -Bullying -Crime -Economy -Over Crouded Schools

What can you do to be address the issue? 1.) Punish more severly in schools and in public areas if caught. 2.) Law enforcement needs to crackdown and do more drug busts. 3.) People need to buy and donate more to Strengthen the Economy 4.) Build New schools or Build extensions to existing schools to allow more classes for students

What is the global impact of your local issue? 1.) Can Start the Stop of Bullying 2.) Will Slow Down or even stop some of the drug trade in the USA 3.) We can produce more agriculture and other products to export to the rest of the U.S. and other countries 4.) Can influence to help build more schools around the U.s. to Abolish Over Crouding.
