It is Laura's turn to make her presentation. She has concluded that the claims about a politician making disparaging remarks about low-income people were false. She found evidence suggesting the politician has made outreach to the poor his goal. Laura describes an encounter the politician had with a homeless family that was relayed in a news article. The encounter informed his policy, including efforts to make homes more affordable. Laura adds words like "humbled" and "altruistic" to her presentation to make the politician seem more relatable.

Laura used to increase the effectiveness of her story and win the class over to her point of view.
