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


 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

My identity is made up of my family, pets, friends and myself.


 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

My sense would be a sister, a daughter, hard working, determined and a good person. Mmy place also would be where i live and what live with,my two dogs, brother, mom and dad, and me!


 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

I can sometimes be a little demanding but I am very good at setting goals and plans.


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

I am extremely talkative, outgoing and sweet. I like to talk about the economy and other up to date problems.


 * 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?

People are littering a lot, and do they really want the world to become a huge ball of trash?! I think that have more cameras around the town would help.

I really like that you chose littering as a common problem in our community. Your solution sounds like a good one. However, how do you think the city will afford to set up these cameras, especially when the economy is doing so poorly? Just something to think about... - Mr. Gore


 * 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?

A big problem now and has been a problem for a very long time would the racial differences between the blacks and whites.

Phase II: Sense of Place

I choose these pictures because... I choose the cardinal because it is the state bird and I belive thats impornant. I choose the overall look of North Carolina because this shows all of the cities and capital. The Duke, UNC and NCSU logos are to show the most popular collages and sports teams of our state. 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?

You included some nice pictures, Becca. It shows a variety of things about the state of North Carolina, including the importance of education. Please include some explanations of why you chose these pictures. - Mr. Giore 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

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? My local issue was that people are littering WAY too much, this could and will cause a major problem in the environment. What can you do to address the issue? I will/can send a letter to the Government and file a complaint about this problem. and then i will ask to put up MORE signs because the ones that are up already DO NOT do anything! What is the global impact of your local issue? The global impact would be that the world will turn in to a ball of trash Add these thoughts to your Group's Discussion Forum on Local Issues
