Select and Transform in Photoshop

Do Now:  Create an identity chart ON PAPER for your community
(This is in preparation for our international online seminar next week)

Just like individuals, communities like Oakland have identities, and factors such as geography, politics, economics, and historical events influence the identity of a community.

Create an identity chart for your community by drawing a circle with OAKLAND (or your town if not Oakland) in a circle in the middle. Around that circle, write the words and phrases that YOU use to describe your town.

Use the printer paper by the door if you don't have your own.  At right is a clickable example of an identity chart for an individual:

Hang on to your chart while we discuss it and then turn it in for credit.
