Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:

This is the Duke UNC rivaly. It is important because that is an important thing in our area. It attracts people to my area because everyone wants to see this basketball game and everyone watches it on TV. It shows how much people care about this basketball game how this affects people.This picture doesn't show the friendliness of the town it shows the rivalry of the community. It is very unique because the whole country is involved with this part of our community. This my school Ravenscroft. It is a very good school for the most part the people are really nice. The reason I put a basketball is because we just won the state champion and going to the national tournament. They are very good athletically and academically. It is a very good school all around.

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?

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)
