As you gathered sources, you were expected to find multiple perspectives on your topic. What differences did you notice between your sources? Explain how these differences helped you better understand the complexity of your issue.

  Prompt Response:  I wasn't expecting to find different points of view on the topic because it was such a hard topic to disagree with. I don't think they were disagreeing that the topic was wrong but they were just talking about the lead up and how one could've prevented this or even tried to make sure this didn't happen. This made me open up and see how the different views make it easier to understand everyone's beliefs.  Summary: Today in class we continued to find our 10 sources for the project.
