    students to become more familiar with informational texts, so there will
    be a journal prompt about a recent news event tied to the continuing
    themes of social justice. Finally, the students will be working in groups on
    a logic puzzle which requires the students to use their reading and critical
    thinking skills to solve problems.

    Reflection:
    Overall, the discussion went great. The students seemed actively engaged

    controlling the classroom discussion and letting everyone have an
    opportunity to discuss the topic.
