John+G.

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

Where you live, the people you hang out with, what you like to do.
 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

Where you live, where you go after school, what you do
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

You work with other people and get to know them
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

I can work hard toward something if I really try
 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

There are lots of people without jobs or homesthat dont have food. I could help by donating money or food to places that give them food.
 * 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?

They have to be able to actually do something, not just say they will.
 * 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?

Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:

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?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * 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?

No because my town doesnt look like a baseball bat or a smiley face. I chose these pictures because i like to play baseball and listen to music.

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)

Hey John! Can you think of a place that is special to you? Use the questions above to help you in the selection of an image that represents that special place. If you have questions or need additional help, please let me know. I look forward to seeing your image! Crystal

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue?

Drug Addiction

What can you do address the issue?

I can tell people about it

What is the global impact of your local issue?

People lose their homes, jobs, everything because of it

Hi John! I agree that drug addiction is an issue that needs to be addressed. Could you speak more to this? Why this particular issue and what are some other ways it can be addressed? Could schools or the community play a role? Good start thus far. Crystal
