  1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? What is means to have a single story is to have a idea of people of how they are in there community.
  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? A single story that i have made is that i allways thought that white people would be all rich and be with a good education and that african americans would be poor.
  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?a story that i have herd about another community is that the east side would be all ghetto and trashy and everyone would be stealing.How i learned the story is that my friends would always tell me that don't go to that side or u will get jumped so i could tell that it was a terrible place to be.How i found out more about to the east side is that when i started to go to EACPA I saw that it wasn't that bad.
  4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?A game could experience many stories about many communities by getting a game that is in a community that we live on.If the community is bad than the people that play it may think that the community is a terrible place and wouldn't want to go see it in person.
