Today in class we had a short class again so we tried to fit a lot in so we could get to discussing our claims in different groups, which we didn't get to do yesterday. The first thing we did was post all of our claims on the classroom page because only 11 people did the assignment at first. Once we all posted our claims then as a group we had to find the three that we thought were the best and rank them. My group chose Bayleigh's and Elias's. The class chose my groups claim, Bayleigh's, and Ben's group. My group's claim was "The speaker is ridiculing America for claiming to be the land of the free when in reality America is only free for certain groups of people." We then as a class said what made each claim so good and how it applied to the specific lens that each group was supposed to be looking at. Once we went through all three claims we then split up into separate groups. We had to go to a different table so that we could partner up with someone with a lens that was different from our own. Me and Coralyn partnered up but we ended up not being able to come up with a claim because by this time class only had about three minutes left so Mr. Rivers said we could start class of with that again tomorrow.
