In my Humanities class: Rhetoric, our first unit was called Suppose. In this unit we studies all of the components of rhetoric. My teacher wanted us to focus on the Chicago mayoral election. During this unit, my classmates and I had two visits, one from Troy LaRaviere, who is a 2019 mayoral candidate. Troy talked to my class about his views on Chicago and what makes him stand out from other candidates. Our other visitor was Ted Miin, he came to my class to talk about peoples assembly's. My class is planning on putting one together so he came in to help us construct one. We also had an external field experience to a memorial of MLK at Marquette park, at the intersection of 67th and Pulaski. There we met Alia Bilal and she educated us on the history of that site.
For my action project, my class had to chose a candidate running in the 2019 election to look into. My candidate is Amara Enyia, she is a lawyer and activist with a phd. With our chosen candidate we have to make a script of them answering a question we made for them.
