I like that she used specific evidence from the book discussing how the town of Laramie cared more about their reputation than the actually death of Matthew Shepard.

Kayleen asked how do people of Laramie show unconscious bias towards homosexuality and culture ? And that was a good question because there are many gay people in Laramie but there is no space given to them.

Kat builds off of Kayleen with the homosexual tolerance idea. She adds a important detail that referring to homosexuals as a "thing" which is dehumanizing this detail is crucial because it shows how they don't view these people as humans, which can influence the way they treat them. She also highlights how there are stigmas and negative connotations are built around the gay community.

I like how she answered one of my questions which was "How do people of Laramie shows unconscious bias towards homosexuality and culture?" She was clear and vivid in what she said, and answered my question well.

# data[].attributes.body
She had a lot of evidence and analysis on how tolerance was shown in the book.

Kaitlyn did not contribute to the discussion but she was very observant in the discussion and I noticed that she was still engaged in the convo.

# data[].attributes.body
She was really atentive and listening to what the other people were saying in the discussion. Every time they asked a question, she was looking for the answer in the book. Lastly, when she participated she used quotations and explained the conection between the evidence and thesis.

Chrisleidy about Jasmely: She used the evidence “HATE IS NOT A LARAMIE VALUE”. She said that is quote represents how hate is not a value of Laramie but Matthew’s death doesn’t show that, so they are using that welcome sign to protect their reputation of being “acceptance” of all people.

She says that the people in Laramie are ignorant and enclosed because of this one part where they were speaking on this girl who had her hijab on and were questioning and disrespecting her. She says that the people there tolerate gays but don't accept them.

Nusrat about Kayleen, I agreed with her statement that the people of Laramie were very enclosed and not inviting to other groups of people.

Loved how Katerina used her own knowledge, not just information from the book to respond to other individuals in the discussion group. But, Katerina also responds to members with a quote from the text, demonstrating that she is paying attention and can back up her response/answer with proof.

# data[].attributes.body
Katerina explains the connection between the quotation and the statement, she elaborated the quote by interprets deeper perspective of the person from the interview for example the use of “it” and the dismiss of priest.

Furthermore Katerina emphasize the quote from page 16 the person who insult Matthew Shepherd with negative words, the attitude his intention and his view to homosexual, or to the murder of Matthew Shepherd.

Lorie about Salmon
Salmon was able to ask very critical thinking questions that was able to create a good atmosphere to start off the group discussion and continuously contributed his opinion with evidence to back up his claim.

I like how Kayleen didn’t use bias when making an argument against anyone. Doc was characterized as being against gays but she didn’t agree cause it was an inference that didn’t have enough back

# data[].attributes.body
He connected everyone one of his quotes with his responses and made sure that his colleagues were engaged as well. He made many agreements with others and supported such with evidence and connections from the text. .

# data[].attributes.body
Nusrat did really good in listening to each and every students statement then applying, analyzing and build on to theirs with her own interpretation and statement using the appropriate connection phrases etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Karen was able to respond and add on to the conversation with evidence supporting evidence (Specifically with the Baptist).

This was able to start a discussion in the group (in a good way).
