Ahmed+A.

 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

I like to play sports and lisen to music. But mostley soccer.
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

Home, school are some place were make up my sense of place.
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

Everything from groups to projects.


 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

Sports, music and my personality.


 * 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?

Crime, the people who are doing the crimes need to get a job so they can stop.


 * 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?

Bullying, we can make the bully and the kid that’s getting bulled and try to find a way to make them friends. You mentioned two different problems facing our culture in Raleigh, NC. First you mentioned crime. That statement is rather vague. What do you mean by crime? What types of crime? I like your thought that criminals need jobs to help sustain their life and to get them out of their bad habits. You also mentioned bullying. Is this a local problem in your neighborhood or more of a problem you see at school? Good start, Ahmed. - Mr. Gore

Phase II: Sense of Place

This is how the people used to make the houses. There is a lot of dry land. In Yemen there is no snow never comes.

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has? **It has the flag and the name.**
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has? **YES**
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique? **YES**
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location? **YES Arabs**

Ahmed, I think this is a great start. I really like that you included Yemen instead of just North Carolina or the US. It will allow your group to discuss even more about global awareness! You answered yes to a few of the questions up above. Maybe elaborate so we can know a little bit more about Yemen. Thanks! - Mr. Gore

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)
