Those Debate Fallacies

You have a week and a half to finish your two Lucy memoirs and complete the log. You were assigned this work on October 27, so at this point you should be well on your way to finishing your second book. For any of you considering not completing the activity, the log - and its specificity and thoroughness - will be worth a significant grade. You will be rewarded for reading and responding to every chapter of the texts.

1: We discussed the fallacies present in the Democratic debate transcript and noted several fallacies that all of the candidates used throughout their speeches.

3: I shared with all of you the Democratic debate transcript. You were then assigned a specific section to identify all of the fallacies present. You will create a comment box for each fallacy and explain how this reflects that type of fallacy. Natasha, you have pages 70-73.

7: We began class by creating slippery slope fallacies and sharing these via dramatic readings. Then, we finished up the last fallacies on the power point. Last, you were assigned a section of the Democratic debate, which was shared to all of you. For your given section, you are to create a comment box for each fallacy and then explain why it is one. This will be due at the beginning of the hour on Monday. Absentees, you will need to identify the fallacies on pages 70-73.
