Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here: This Fayettville Strret in downtown raleigh. Sometimes my friends and I go shopping downtown and we walk through this street. We eat Krispy Kreme doughnuts and can see the main stage for all the big ballets. This is the belltower at my school. We walk past it everyday and my grade eats lunch outside on the gras and benches. The building behind it is the middle and upper school library. This is cameron Village. My friends and I shop here sometimes. it has a lot of great jewelry stores and nice places to eat like The Flying Biscuit and Cafe Carolina. A few of my friends and I are going to this theater the DPAC, to watch our favorite band perform, One Direction.

This is our president's house in Washington DC, the capitol of our country.

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) Yes, my pictures show my city and the country that I live in. they represent my sense of place in a bueatiful way. yes, my city has lots of connections inside, while we don't know everrybody, we are close to the friends we have. My capitol building picture shows that we have strong historical values and haven't created a brand new place for our president. The concerts that we go to are very exciting and we all have tonms of fun.

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue?

A major local issue is poverty, especially in downtown Raleigh. There are many people living on the street who have no money and no place to go. There are not enough jobs for everybody in Raleigh. Also, there is a lot of litter on the greenway which many people are trying to clean up. What can you do to be address the issue?

We could help to clean up the greenway or get a group together and organize a few hours every saturday to pick up trash or volunteer at a soup kitchen downtown. What is the global impact of your local issue?

These local issues create a negative look on our city of Raleigh, and we are not proud of the litter, and homeless on the streets. we need to creata a higher employment rate for those eligible. Add these thoughts to your Group's Discussion Forum on Local Issues
