1. We finished the Democratic debate transcripts and the identification of fallacies in the text. As evidenced by the plethora of examples in class, the political machine continually relies on fallacious thinking to sway the audience.
2. You added the Birdie prompt to your portfolio and filled out the connecting chart. The previous blogs have suggestions and tips for improvement. You should utilize this assistance to improve your writing as we will have the last timed rhetorical analysis prompt at some point during the next 7 class sessions.
3. Without any direction, you completed the first multiple choice passage. Afterward, I annoyingly did not give you the answers. Instead, we discussed the strategies and techniques that one uses in completing multiple choice passages. Then, we looked at 7 categories of questions. For homework, you will identify the category of each question. We will discuss this tomorrow and then you will find out the answers and your final score.
*Remember, you need to score 50% or higher on multiple choice passages to be at your first goal level.
Tuesday's theoretical plans - multiple choice passages 1 & 2, rhetorical and fallacy analysis of speeches.
