'Single Story'
What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
To have a 'Single Story' is to have an opinion on some thing that you know anything about or have any facts about the place. To say things about it and not know it at all.
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?
People that dont live in the East Austin think that EVERYONE that lives here are criminals. thugs, robbers, and a lot of other things that we are not. People think that students from this side of Austin will not be eligablr to go to college because either they think we are going to drop out or just go to high school and not want to go to college and get an education.
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?
Lets talk about the North Side of Austin. People think that everyone in the north side of austin is rich or have really good jobs or have enough money to buy a big house and that they are snobby people. I learned this from hearing people in my community and my family and even at the mall. But i could find out for my self if this is true by like spending a day on the North Side of Austin and find out if they really are rich and have big houses and are snobby like they say.
How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
A game could let its players experience many stories about a place or communities by comparing them with other communities and contrasting them.
