After reviewing the two Baltimore Sun articles, describe an "ow", "wow" AND "pow" moment from the link. Remember an "ow" moment is something that we hear that makes us feel uncomfortable or question what is being said. The "pow" moment is something we had not heard before and hits us and makes us think about something in a new way.
