Question :

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? A Single Story is that you have this thing in your head that thinks they know all about all the places in the world but at the same time it change when you go and see that place its like another story .
2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?I have heard that other people from other places think that all Texas were cowboys and cowgirls that we dress different .The thing that is missing is that trout the years all change but in the book that the other kids are reading about us Texas it another story.People can learn more about it if they come by and see that all the ideas that they think are wrong .
3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community? I heard that they think all school from the East Side are the worse because they think that the kids are not learning anything and they are just learning about gangs but not all school .I learn about this story by the news and the paper .Well this community is all ways in the news and the paper so you will always find something new that happened in the East Side.
4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? We could do a game that tells different thing about each community but not mad up but true and we can let the kids read this little paragraph and then they have to see with this little people are doing that same thing as the story was saying .
