Join the Community

In this lesson, you watched a video that described what the speaker described as a "single story" and you were asked to answer the following questions in a blog entry. 1.What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or 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? 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? 4.How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? The single story you may be aware of may be different than what anyone else in the classroom is aware of, but that doesn't mean that it is incorrect. Everyone has experiences filtered through the lens of their own perspectives. To be narrow-minded though is not something that anyone should be guilty of no matter where that individual lives or what he/she has experienced. Share your stories of single stories of places and communities you are aware of as you address the questions above.
