Provocation

 LI: To use provocation to understand both sides of the story

A provocation is a act or speech that triggers emotion in others.

Our provocation that we were given was It’s costing Japan 15.4 billion dollars US to host the Olympics. Should host countries have to spend so much money on building Olympics venues? I worked collaboratively` together with Juel and we both formed our own opinions on what we think about the provocation.

We both shared the same opinion that we are against the provocation and that they should not be spending that much amount of money on the Olympic venues of they are going to be left and are going to be run down and not going to be used again.

Something I found Ineresting about doing this taskwith my peers,Is being able to learn from the and work with them them.Expercining Juel's thinking help me learn more about olympics and reading.
