I planned for the fallacies to take up half the hour. However, there are so many fallacious statements in the debates that some classes did not even make it to the halfway point! A highlight package of fallacies includes straw man, hasty generalizations, dogmatism, appeal to pity/sentimentality, begging the question, and ad hominem.
On Monday, we will finish the transcripts. Then, we will start working on multiple choice passages and strategies to help you score higher on the exam.
AP exam questions fall into the following categories: purpose, tone, rhetorical strategies, mode of discourse, inferences, details, and context. Reviewing rhetorical strategies will help on all parts of the test, so I recommend you have ethos on all the terms and definitions.
