"Danger of a single story"
What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
It means that you use stereotype to describe a place or community.
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?
Mrs. Arcos told us that she went to Round Rock and this guy asked her where she worked at and she said she was a teacher in the east of Austin . The men's reaction was shocking. She should told him that it was a college prep academy and that it was really good. He should come to the school and visit us.
Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story?
One is that the East side is bad and has lots of gangs. What I've seen is that its quite and I don't see any gangs
How could you find out more about that community?
I could go to the internet and search the East Side or got to the police department to ask them questions.
How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
It can tell them fun facts and thins that may be wrong and show them a bad conflict.
