At the beginning of the class a group exposed their role play. The role play was about a bad boss who pay less his employer because she was a woman but he gave her a lot of work. The other coworkers didn't care about that. She complained for the situation, and she told her boss she was pregnant. He fire her so she spoke with some friends about it and two of them recommended her to abort. 

Then, we watched a documental about the tragedy of 9/11/2001. It was a good and understandable video, maybe a little sad too. We commented the video after that with a partner.

Mackenzie came to the class around 6pm and she did a game to cheer us up. The game was about count from 1 to 10 in group but if two or more people say the same number we have to start again. We didn't know who is going to say the next number so it was a little difficult and fun. We did the game with our eyes closed, then back to back and then against the clock, we had to say the 10 numbers in 10 seconds. 

After that Mackenzie talked about what happened in 9/11. She was 6 years old when that happened and she told us some experiences. She gave us a popsicle and we had some questions in the board so we had to ask other friend a question and answer one of them too. I liked to talk with David because he think that the twin towers attack was a conspiracy of the government of United States and I think the same. The powerful nations like United States needs to control of the rest of the countries but they can't attack them without a reason, they need a excuse and they found it. We didn't know exactly what the truth is but a war is a good biz for the governments, so they use to people, the citizens to take their plans out.

After that, Mackenzie choose 4 questions to comment in group. The questions was:

1. In your opinion, are there any lessons to be learned from 9/11?

2. Which 9/11 related changes have had the greatest impact on your life?

3. What is your opinion on writing fiction or poetry or creating art out if tragedies like 9/11?

4. Costa Rica not had an army for decades while the military is a central part of United Stated, what's your opinion?

To finish the class, I and my group exposed the role play. We did like a chain, Johnson was my father is gave me a bad treatment so I pass this violence to Nazareth because she was black, and Nazareth to Hazel because she is gay, Hazel to Marielys because she is a nerd, Marielys to Kenneth because she is poor and finally Kenneth to Allan because he is drug dealer. Allan said Kenneth he wants to die but Kenneth didn't say nothing and Allan did it. We wanted to leave the message that violence produce more violence, that is not the solution. Instead, if one of us, no matter who, if just of them broke the chain Allan didn't commit suicide.
