Gangs

Becky Gilbreath 1. I wanted to do the topic Gangs because it it seems like it can be very interesting. I do not know much about them, so it will be neat to learn more about them, and how to handle that type of situation in a classroom. I would also hope to learn the purpose of gangs, and why do they start at such a young age. 2. I do not have any concerns so far. 3. I think I will bring good ideas to the group, i will be prepared to work on whatever it is that I have to. I think we will all equally share the amount of work needed to be done.

Alyssa Thomas 1. I chose to do the topic Gangs because its something I do not know very much about and seems very interesting. I do not know very much about this topic, so i am hoping to learn a lot such as, how they start, and purpose. 2. My only concern so far is that this is a very broad topic, so we might be finding more information that we know what to do with. 3. I will be very committed and focused on this project, so i will bring focus to the group.

Alexys Cleaver 1. I chose to do Gangs because I think the topic is interesting. In high school I wasn't exposed to them at all but when I was at my Junior College I ended up finding out more about them. I also did a teaching observation at a high school that had lots of Gangs and violence related to Gangs so it will be nice to do more research on them. 2. As of right now I don't have any concerns. 3. I think I will bring some experience dealing with Gangs and the knowledge of being in a teaching environment the has dealt with them.

Bre McDonald: 1. I selected this topic, because I thought it would be good to learn about something that I don't know much about. They are everywhere and it would be interesting to learn more about them. I hope to learn about some Gangs and what is the purpose of having/making a gang, and where most of them are located and why. 2. As of right now, I don't really have any concerns. 3. I think that I will be committed to the group and learning about the topic. I will hopefully come up with good ideas to add to the project to make it interesting.
