1: We returned to vocabulary, and you did very well after a week and a half hiatus to complete are presentations and discussions. Then, we read/watched Earl Spencer's eulogy for Diana and indicated rhetorical strategies (asyndeton, telegraphic sentence, pathos, diction, tone, and other impacting methods) to review our three month focus on rhetorical analysis. At the end of the hour, you received the fallacy packet, and worked with a partner to learn about one fallacy and create 2 original examples for class tomorrow.
3: After our vocab quiz, we spent the rest of the hour with fallacies. For homework, you are to compose a minimum 15 step slippery slope. I hope you are creative as fourth hour exceeded my expectation of random slippery slope results. In addition, you need to start identifying fallacies for your section of the Republican debate transcript, which was shared to you earlier today. For each fallacy that you find, make a comment identifying the type of fallacy and why it is a fallacy. You will have 15-20 minutes to work on this during class tomorrow. However, you should begin the process prior to class.
4: After finishing the fallacy types, we had our fourth hour drama department act out slippery slopes. We had evidence finding the Zodiac killer, hors d'oeuvres with a Vanderbilt, M&M's & Mr. Pibb for dinner, calling a teacher "Mom," car crashes, tater tot choking, ferrets, laxatives in the Christmas cookies, and Santa on the can. Yep, this was an entertaining day in class. For homework, you are to take your section of the Republican debate transcript, which was shared with you earlier today. For each fallacy that you find, make a comment identifying the type of fallacy and why it is a fallacy. You will need to have your section ready to go for Thursday. Absentees, you will be in charge of pages 42-53 of the transcript, and you will both need to participate.
