Putting the Pieces Together

I See: I see four puzzle pieces with the words Analyze, Reason, Investigate, and Review. I also see that each piece is a different color.

I Think: These pieces could represent the progress of Obama and his cabinet coming together and maybe adding another piece to the puzzle by choosing Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. Also, our class clearly relates to this image because all 4 of the pieces of this puzzle are steps that one would take when thinking critically.

I Wonder: I wonder if the different colors of these pieces could represent different races in our government?

This was my Final exam for my american studies class. I was limited to 100 words in this assignment so I could not add a few key points that I wanted to make. For the I wonder portion, I want to say that the different races include people like Obama and Sotomayor who both represent minorities. I also would of liked to add in specific times in class when we thought critically. For example, we thought critically about the media many times, we looked at African American Tokenism in television. I really enjoyed this discussion because it was something that has always been right there but I never noticed it. this is just one of many topics that we discussed in American Studies, a class that I really enjoyed being a part of.
