Film by Moore 1/24/18

Today in class we opened the class by being introduced to next year courses such as tomorrows teachers provided by Mrs. Kopp.  This is a course you are able to take if you are interested in working with kids at all in your future and college credits can be learned along with many valuable skills involving children of all ages.  We then began to watch the documentary by Michael Moore about the shooting of Columbine. While watching we have to make two claims for the part we watch, so each day we watch we will do this. Different strategies were provided to us while watching, one being just listening to what was being said in the documentary, analyzing it, and then watching what is filmed while we listen. This allowed us to pick apart the different tactics being used which will help us while we are watching our documentary to write our essay. One claim that I found that a character Moore was interviewing was, Other Person’s Claim: If you don’t have a gun you are not doing your duties as an American citizen to protect yourself and your family. Many of the people he had talked to was very anti-government. People were also saying nonsense and just things that didn't make sense at all, and they thought they were 100% right no doubt about it. We then ended the class by finishing our claims and submitting them to the classroom.
