About My Topic

My topic is about Global warming affecting animals all over the world like American pikas, tufted puffins, green sea turtles, and polar bears are all threatened by climate change because of global warming.

This issue interests me because many animals are die because of global warming and it is really sad .I want people to learn that they should care more about the planet and the animals in the planet because they pollute and that adds to the global warming .The issue need to be addressed because global warming not only affects animals but the planet to and if it affects the planet it affect's humans.

2 Single Story 2011

" Danger of a single story"

• What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

I think it means how one person thinks about a other person only looking at them or because they saw movie ,or in the news or where they lived and and many more stuff.

• 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? That the east side is full of bad people be that is no true

• 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 never heard a story of a other community.

• How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? Maybe they can learn some think and change your opinion about somebody or something.
